Advising
information
International
Studies faculty provide general advice to students,
makes referrals for advising depending on the
chosen track or area minor, works closely with
faculty in appropriate departments who are responsible
for a particular track or minor, and provides
the final approval to certify that the minor has
been completed.
All
relevant information about the minors, including
approved lists of courses for the various minors
and tracks, is available on this Website.
EDUCATION ABROAD
Each
of the minors urges student participation in a
study abroad program wherever possible. All students
who meet eligibility requirements for federal
financial aid are permitted to use this assistance
in approved study abroad programs. All reasonable
costs associated with study abroad programs may
be incorporated into the determination of financial
aid eligibility. For more information about study
