GE Pathway Minor in International Studies

Pathway Coordinator: Patricia Black, TRNT 149.

International Studies is about the exploration of the world's cultures, languages, and institutions and their diverse traditions and common interests.  The International Studies Pathway encourages appreciation of the world's cultural diversity and recognition of the common issues that contemporary societies face.  Students develop comparative perspectives of ethical, sustainable, and socially responsible institutions.  This Pathway requires students to develop cross-cultural understanding, technical skills, and pre-professional experience relevant to the globalizing world of the 21st century.  The International Studies Pathway is appropriate for students interested in international business, culture, arts, politics, and economics.
Students are encouraged to study abroad as part of the International Studies Pathway, and under certain circumstances, may apply up to 18 units toward the interdisciplinary GE Pathway Minor in International Studies.  Students interested in applying credit from study-abroad experiences to the interdisciplinary minor should consult with the Study Abroad Office and the International Studies GE Coordinator before departure.
