The International Relations and Global Studies program demands extensive study across multiple disciplines in the College of Liberal Arts. Consult the Major Requirements section for detailed course specifications. Students must take three foundational IRG courses, concluding with a senior capstone research project. The curriculum features a challenging foreign language component, a specialized study track from four thematic options, regional focus studies across six geographic areas, and compulsory international study. This class provides an overview of the College of Liberal Arts' innovative interdisciplinary program in International Relations and Global Studies. IRG 301 requires completion of at least twenty-four college credit hours, qualifying it as a sophomore-level course.
The IRG capstone seminar is a structured, single-semester course typically taken during students' final year. Its objective is to guide students through an independent research project that expands upon prior IRG coursework. While research topics may concentrate on specific regions or time periods, they should engage with wider current issues in international relations and global studies.
