Students in the International Studies Minor will learn to navigate the globalized world they live in today and to apply this knowledge to their majors and other courses. Courses in this minor have a global perspective and develop skills such as intercultural communication, writing, foreign language skills, and cultural sensitivity. These skills better prepare our students to face the challenges and take advantage of today\u2019s interconnected, intercultural world.<\/p>\n<p>Students thinking about minoring in International Studies should meet with an International Studies faculty advisor early in their academic career to declare the minor and to complete an <a href=\"https:\/\/internationalstudies.marymount.edu\/InternationalStudiesAdvisingWorksheet.pdf\">IS advising worksheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>International Studies Faculty Committee<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chadrector.net\/\">Chad Rector, chair<\/a><br \/>\nPolitical Science and International Relations<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/staff-members\/matthew-bakker\/\">Matt Bakker<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\">Sociology<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/staff-members\/kathleen-garces-foley\/\">Kathleen Garces-Foley<\/a><br \/>\nTheology and Religious Studies<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/staff-members\/katie-peebles\/\">Katie\u00a0Peebles<\/a><br \/>\nLiterature and Languages<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expand All Coursework (15 credits) Students pursuing the International Studies (IS) minor\u00a0must complete the following course requirements: SOC 203 The Global Village (3 credits) 4 IS\u00a0elective courses\u00a0outside of the student&#8217;s major\u00a0in a minimum of 3 academic disciplines (12 credits) International studies elective courses include: ECO 211 Principles of Macroeconomics ECO 485 International Economics EN 204 [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/college-of-sciences-and-humanities\/school-of-social-and-behavioral-sciences\/undergraduate-programs\/political-science-and-international-relations-b-a\/minor\/international-studies-minor\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":1743,"menu_order":8,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/left-sidebarpage.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>International Studies Minor - Marymount University<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Expand All Coursework (15 credits) Students pursuing the International Studies (IS) minor\u00a0must complete the following course requirements: SOC 203 The .
