Program Overview

International Studies is an interdisciplinary track for students in the humanities and the social sciences. Through humanistic and social science methodologies and hands-on experiences both in Denver and abroad, students learn to identify patterns and trends in the multifaceted discipline of international studies. Areas of application include: art and politics; philosophy and diplomacy; issues in international and nongovernmental foreign policy; international gender, environmental and human rights issues; international law; cross-cultural-communication; globalization; and the organizational and social structures through which different international entities struggle to build and maintain clear and effective relations. Total required credit hours for the track in conjunction with earning the MH or MSS Degree: 36 credit hours to include 9 hours of Humanities (HUMN) or Social Science (SSCI) core courses, a required Political Science seminar, 15 credit hours of International Relations-related courses and 3-6 credit hours dedicated to a culminating project or thesis. The remaining credit hours are to be divided between electives and (where possible) an internship. Students admitted for the track program will meet the same admissions standards as those admitted to the MH or MSS Program, including a completed Bachelor’s Degree, and must demonstrate a history of committed interest to some dimension of International Studies, such as significant overseas experience.
