The Bachelor of Arts Degree in International Relations is a 39 hour major in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is interdisciplinary, combining coursework in five areas:

1.  Economics

2.  Geography

3.  History

4.  Political Science

5.  Foreign Language

One of the special features of the program is its foreign language component, which consists of both coursework and a language - proficiency examination. That combination effectively certifies at least a certain minimal level of foreign language competency which is highly prized by potential employers.
