International Requirement (IR), Criteria, and Courses
| IRC Agenda | International Requirement Committee | IRC Minutes | International Course Review Page |
The Upper Division International Course Requirement will give students a broad base of knowledge about global issues and about global perspectives in a comparative context. It will introduce students to international frames of reference so that they may think critically about long-standing and newly emerging issues. It will help students accept and appreciate the interdependence of nations and the viewpoints of other nations, and give them the ability to communicate with people across international borders.
Participating in an approved study abroad program is another way to fulfill the International Requirement. Contact the International Center for assistance in selecting a study abroad program.
