INTS Upper-Division Elective Options

Courses meeting upper-division International Studies (INTS) elective requirements are  found in most CAHSS departments and across the University, in addition to short and long-term study abroad offerings.

INTS courses focus on global issues and must meet two criteria:

  1. Focus on a current international issue/problem/event; and
