Four courses related to the student's thematic/regional focus:
In the INTL 201 course, students will propose four elective courses that relate to the students' thematic/regional focus within International Studies. Up to three courses from their OCS program may count towards their major.
Language requirement:
Two semesters of non-English language study beyond the Denison GE requirement. The language requirement can be fulfilled in a number of ways, and students should consult with the INTL Director or another INTL faculty advisor. Students may include in their off-campus study a language particular to that program and one that is not taught at Denison. Multilingual students should consult with the INTL Director to determine how to fulfill their language requirement. In general, INTL encourages multilingual students to gain exposure to a new language related to their field of study.
