The major in International Studies is a gateway to the study of global affairs in Weinberg College. Its mission is to encourage and support student education and scholarship in international affairs and it is open to all Weinberg students and to students from across the university. In addition to the curriculum set out below, International Studies offers weekly seminars, research support, career counseling, public events, and more. Double-counting note: Weinberg College requires all adjunct majors be completed along with a stand-alone major. For international studies, at most 2 of the 10 required units (core courses, thematic concentration courses, and project courses) may be double-counted toward both this major and another major. There is no special allowance to allow double-counting with a minor except where this may be explicitly permitted by another rule in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a major course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits. 4 courses (except where noted) in a thematic concentration. More information about the concentrations and lists of additional eligible courses may be found each quarter at the program office and on the International Studies website.
