Further guidelines for the focus cluster option are supplied under the Global Studies heading below. The focus cluster option requires students to choose three courses from a single discipline or on a single theme, one of which must be at the 300 level. Students following the global studies pathway choose, in consultation with their international studies adviser, one of two options: a disciplinary/thematic focus cluster or comparative regions. In certain cases, area studies majors may be allowed to fulfill this requirement by taking a 300-level course from the global core. Students following the area studies pathway choose among the following five world regions (Africa Asia Caribbean and Latin America Middle East or Russia and Eurasia) and take five area courses according to the guidelines listed under the appropriate heading below. See the entire listing of global core courses under the global studies heading below. All majors must take at least one course from the core, and global studies majors must take three, one of which should be at the 300 level. These courses act as the gateway to the program as well as its intellectual core. All required courses at the 300 level or above must be taken at Trinity.Ĭore courses: All international studies majors must fulfill the following core requirements: Students who study abroad for more than one semester may be eligible for an exception upon consultation with the director. No more than three credits earned away from Trinity’s Hartford campus may be counted toward the major. No course taken toward the 10-credit major may be taken pass/fail or completed with a grade of less than C.
Language courses applied toward the four-semester minimum are not counted in the total credits required for the major. Number of courses, credits and overall GPA required for the major:Ĭredits and grades-Students must earn 10 credits to complete the major.
Area studies majors must also take at least five courses relevant to their world region from across the Trinity curriculum, and global studies majors must choose between a disciplinary or thematic focus cluster and a comparative regions option. Because of the breadth of its purview, the program asks students to choose from one of two pathways through the major: either the study of one of five world regions (Africa Asia Caribbean and Latin America Middle East or Russia and Eurasia) or the study of global interrelations with a disciplinary or thematic focus (global studies).Īll majors, whether following the area studies or the global studies pathway, must take at least one course from the program’s “global core” (global studies majors take three) complete a minimum of four semesters of study in a single language other than English complete at least one semester (or summer) of college-level study abroad and cap their major with the INTS 401. Since 1969, the program has trained students to analyze the variety of human experience and to consider the challenges posed to our planet by our current circumstances and history.
The International Studies Program examines the diversity and interdependence of the world’s peoples and their institutions.
