What courses do I take as an incoming freshman?
We will help you set up a plan for the General Education requirements that will also prepare you to major in International Studies. Contact the Chair.
How do I declare the International Studies major?
All International Studies majors must schedule an initial meeting with the Chair of the Program. You will discuss your academic and career goals and create an academic plan. After that meeting, you will work with a faculty advisor in your emphasis track (Canada, Europe, Northeast Asia, Russia).
Declare the major or minor early.
When you declare your major, you are required to fulfill the degree requirements as described in the UAA Catalog for that year. If you wait, there might be additional requirements in later catalogs.
Declare a double major or add a minor:
Adding another major or a minor to your International Studies degree enhances your portfolio for career and other post-graduation opportunities. Current International Studies majors have selected double majors or minors in anthropology, business, economics, geography, history, journalism, languages, and political science, among others.
Advising Materials:
These materials are designed to help you plan your academic path at UAA. The UAA Catalog of the year you declare the major is the final authority on all requirements.
