The International Studies Program

Technology and the forces of cultural and economic integration appear to reduce the distances between societies, which now impinge on one another on many dimensions. At the same time, ethnic, religious, and economic conflicts erupt within and between societies, often in violent form. Both the proximity of other societies and the remaining divides within and between them demand a better understanding of their cultures and institutions. Societies cannot be understood in isolation or at a single point in time, however; they are shaped by global and regional environments—political, military, economic, cultural—and their pasts. Individuals and societies in turn shape those environments as they reinterpret their histories.

Using different disciplinary lenses, the international studies major explores the interaction between international and national, global and local, contemporary and historical. The program builds on the strengths of existing international specializations at UC San Diego. International relations and comparative politics are established and distinguished fields of political science. The comparative study of societies and cultures lies at the core of sociology and anthropology. Literature and linguistics offer a rich array of courses dealing with languages and traditions outside the English-speaking societies. Area studies programs provide comprehensive understanding of particular countries and regions.

The international studies major provides students with both a firm grounding in a discipline and the flexibility to permit exploration from alternative perspectives. The primary and secondary tracks chosen by each student contain the disciplinary foundations of the major. International studies majors also complete two core courses that serve as gateways to disciplinary approaches and to central international and comparative issues that cut across disciplines. Among these subjects are cultural boundaries and identities, economic and social development, international and regional integration and their effects, the evolution of political and social institutions, and forms of communication and language. A required capstone seminar permits the completion of a research paper in close association with a member of the faculty. International studies majors benefit throughout from the activities and programs of the Institute for International, Comparative, and Area Studies (IICAS), the home for international studies at UCSD.

Education Abroad

Majors in international studies are encouraged to participate in the UC Education Abroad Program (EAP) and UCSD’s Opportunities Abroad Program (OAP). Subject to approval by the faculty director of the major, up to six courses taken through EAP/OAP will be accepted for credit toward the major. Students are strongly encouraged to complete INTL 101 and INTL 102 before departure. Students interested in studying abroad should see an international studies program advisor to discuss appropriate courses and programs for their plan of study. Information on EAP/OAP is given in the Education Abroad Program section of the UC San Diego General Catalog. Interested students should contact the Programs Abroad Office in the International Center and visit its Web site at http://programsabroad.ucsd.edu. Financial aid can be used for EAP/OAP study, and special study abroad scholarships are also available.

For information on study abroad in the ISP, visit http://isp.ucsd.edu, and http://programsabroad.ucsd.edu/acadint/PDFs/intlstudabroad.pdf.

Careers

International studies attracts students who are interested in a variety of careers, including government and international organizations, international business, non-governmental organizations, journalism, the arts, and the media. Because of its strong disciplinary core, the major also prepares students who wish to pursue graduate degree programs in international affairs or in one of the participating disciplines.

Honors

The Honors Program in International Studies recognizes academic excellence in the major. The Honors Program allows qualified students to complete an honors thesis on a topic of their choice in close collaboration with a member of the UCSD faculty. Students who wish to participate in the Honors Program in International Studies should indicate their interest in the spring quarter of their junior year. Honors program applications are available on the ISP Web site. Applications are due by Monday of the ninth week, the quarter before you enroll in 190H.

Refer to http://isp.ucsd.edu/content/is_major/honors.php for additional requirements and information pertaining to the ISP Honors Program.

Requirements for the Honors Program

Candidates for honors in any of the International Studies degrees must meet the following requirements:

Criteria for “Distinction,” “High Distinction,” and “Highest Distinction”

Please refer to the International Studies Program Web site for additional requirements.

The International Studies Major

A student who satisfactorily completes the general-education requirements of Muir, Revelle, Marshall, Warren, Roosevelt, or Sixth College in addition to the international studies requirements described below will be awarded one of the following bachelor of arts degrees based upon selection of the primary track:

International Studies–Anthropology

International Studies–Economics

International Studies–History

International Studies–Linguistics

International Studies–Literature

International Studies–Political Science

International Studies–Sociology

All upper-division courses applied to the requirements of the major must be taken for a letter grade. A 2.0 grade-point average is required in the major, and students must earn at least C– in each course counted for the major. Transfer students should see the international studies advisor to determine whether courses taken elsewhere satisfy international studies program requirements.

Lower-Division Requirements

Foreign language (four quarters of college-level language or equivalent proficiency).

Students majoring in international studies are required to demonstrate basic proficiency in a modern foreign language by completing four quarters of foreign language instruction (or equivalent) with a passing grade. Students may also complete this requirement by demonstrating advanced language ability on a proficiency exam.

College-level language study is a prerequisite for study abroad in most non-English speaking countries and enhances understanding of those societies. Students who plan to study abroad in non-English speaking countries may need to take additional language classes, and they will need to take all language courses for letter grades.

Students should make substantial progress toward fulfilling college general-education requirements and the foreign language requirement of the international studies major before beginning the core sequence of the international studies major.

Upper-Division Requirements

The upper-division requirements for a major in international studies are

  1. Two core courses (INTL 101 and INTL 102)
  2. A capstone seminar (INTL 190)
  3. Eight 4-unit, upper-division, non-language courses in a primary track
  4. Five 4-unit, upper-division, non-language courses in a secondary track (different from primary track)

Core Courses

Two core courses (INTL 101 and INTL 102) provide an intellectual gateway to central issues and disciplinary approaches in international studies. Students may begin the sequence with either course. Sophomore status is a prerequisite for both courses.

INTL 101. Culture and Society in International Perspective (4)

INTL 102. Economics, Politics, and International Change (4)

Capstone Seminar

All majors will complete the capstone seminar during their senior year. Students are required to complete a research paper for this course.

Integrated Bachelor of Arts/Master in International Affairs

The International Studies Program and the School of International Relations and Pacific Studies have collaborated to create a combined five-year Bachelor of Arts/Master of International Affairs program (B.A./M.I.A.). The combined program is designed specifically for selected UCSD undergraduate majors in international studies who seek advanced training for leadership positions in the Pacific Rim community. In addition to serving the needs of UCSD undergraduate students, the program provides a societal benefit by providing students with advanced training that is suitable for a wide array of careers in government, industry, nonprofit institutions, and other organizations involved in the international affairs of the Pacific Rim.

The B.A./M.I.A. program retains and builds on the interdisciplinary core of the existing international studies degree and adds to it the professional training of a new one-year Master of International Affairs professional degree (year five of the combined program). This streamlined program will permit undergraduates to incorporate graduate-level courses into their final year of the international studies major. The combined degree program will provide an interdisciplinary program of study in the International Studies Program during the first four years. It is expected that up to ten undergraduate students will be accepted into this program each year.

The structure of the program is as follows:

Years 1–3

Undergraduate lower- and upper-division course work; general-education, language courses, INTL courses, major prerequisites, and half the undergraduate track courses.

Year 4

Students are still undergraduates, but the majority of course work is completed at IR/PS at the graduate level; at end of year 4, students graduate with a B.A. in International Studies–Economics or International Studies–Political Science.

Summer

Required summer internship between years 4 and 5.

Year 5

Students enter IR/PS and complete remaining graduate course work; upon successful completion, they graduate with a Master of International Affairs (M.I.A.) at end of year 5.

PLEASE NOTE: This program is ONLY open to students whose two tracks are economics and political science, in either order.

Students apply to the program at the end of winter quarter in year 3. Acceptance is tentative until successful completion of year 4 and the required summer internship; student is then officially accepted into the M.I.A. program and begins to pay professional fees.

The B.A./M.I.A. Program is much more rigidly structured than the regular IS major. Students will need to meet frequently with the International Studies Program academic advisor from their first year onward to ensure proper course selection each quarter.

The approved course list for the B.A./M.I.A. Program is slightly different than the list for the regular IS major. Please be sure to consult the appropriate list to find approved courses.

Students must study a Pacific Rim foreign language for this program because the language must match the IR/PS region of specialization during the fifth year. Consult the ISP Web site for a complete list of approved B.A./M.I.A. languages and their corresponding IR/PS regions.

Students must complete a minimum of four quarters of a Pacific Rim foreign language in order to meet the B.A. requirement. Two additional quarters are required for the M.I.A. It is recommended (but not required) that students complete all six quarters at the undergraduate level.

Students choosing to satisfy their language requirement by taking six quarters of course work must earn a grade of C– or better in the fifth quarter and a grade of B or better in the sixth quarter.

For additional information about the B.A./M.I.A. program, please visit our Web site at http://isp.ucsd.edu. For application information and admissions criteria, please visit http://graduateapp.ucsd.edu.

The International Studies Minor

The international studies minor is designed to offer students an introduction to the interdisciplinary investigation of other societies and the forces of global integration and conflict. To receive a minor in international studies, a student must complete seven four-unit courses (twenty-eight units).

(A) Language requirement

ALL minors must demonstrate basic proficiency in a modern foreign language by completing four quarters of foreign language instruction (or equivalent). Students may also complete this requirement by demonstrating advanced language ability on a proficiency exam. Students completing the language requirement through waiver (700 or better on SAT II language exam or if you attended high school outside the U.S.) or proficiency will fulfill the language component of the minor by completing one of these requirements but no course credit will be applied toward the seven courses required for the minor.

Up to two courses in foreign language can be included in the seven courses required for the minor. These may be lower-division courses but must be taken for a C– or better to apply. The remaining five courses must be upper-division courses in the humanities and social sciences. (See below.)

(B) Additional course requirements

  1. All minors must take INTL 101 and INTL 102. INTL 101 and 102 may be taken in any order and are offered during different quarters throughout the academic year. You can enroll in INTL 101 and INTL 102 on WebReg if you have sophomore standing and are declared in the IS major or minor program. If you do not meet these requirements and wish to add INTL 101 or 102, contact the International Studies Advising Office. INTL 101 and 102 are gateway courses and should be taken in the sophomore or junior year.

  2. The remaining three to five courses (depending on the number of language courses applied to the minor) must be distributed in two broad areas (tracks). Specifically, students must take at least one course in each of two tracks:

    Track 1. Economics, Politics, and International Change

    Track 2. Culture and Society in International Perspective

    (See course listings for each track.)

  3. The minor must include courses from at least two departments.
  4. All courses applied to the minor (including applicable language courses) must receive a letter grade of C– or better.
  5. Minors in international studies are encouraged to participate in the UC Education Abroad Program (EAP) and UCSD’s Opportunities Abroad Program (OAP). Subject to approval by the IS faculty director, up to three courses taken through EAP/OAP or at another university will be accepted for credit toward the minor.
