Bachelor of Arts [B.A] International Studies
Globalization is here to stay, but what course it takes is far from predetermined. That will depend on how it is shaped by actors competing in the global arena. The International Studies program at Louisiana State University offers interdisciplinary degrees (both major and minor) intended to prepare students to work in that exciting new arena.
All students majoring in international studies must complete 15 hours in a primary area of concentration, and six hours in a secondary area of concentration. At least nine hours in the primary concentration must be taken at the 3000 level or above. At least three hours in the secondary concentration must be taken at the 3000 level or above.
Students must meet language competency standards in a language appropriate to their regional area of concentration. Native speakers of a language relevant to their regional concentration can petition the program director for an exemption from this language requiremen
