Focus I: at least 9 hours from one focus area (3 hours must be 300-level or higher) Focus II: 9 hours from a 2nd focus area (3 hours must be 300-level or higher) (9 of the 18 hours in the two focus areas must be 300-level or higher) Focus areas are courses that fit together by looking at a country, region, or theme of International Studies. Theme areas and the courses in them must be approved by the coordinator of the program. The course may be in different departments, but at their heart they must focus on a common theme. Examples of regional focus areas include Latin American Studies, African Studies, Middle East Studies, Asian Studies, European Studies. Examples of issue related focus areas include Peace and Conflict Studies, International Business, Intercultural Communication, Global Environmental Studies, Global Health Issues. D. Study/Living Abroad
Students may meet this by short-term faculty let trips or by spending a semester or year studying internationally. Capital’s International Education Office has extensive resources to help you find study locations, most of which do not require fluency in the local language. Surprisingly, a semester studying abroad costs about the same as a semester at Capital. |
