World Regional Minors
The College of Liberal Arts offers seven World Regional Minors, in African Studies, Asian Studies, Jewish and Holocaust Studies, Latin American Studies, Middle East Studies, Modern European Studies, and Russian Studies.
Each World Regional Minor offers an interdisciplinary focus on cultural and geopolitical
aspects of the region. These programs are independent and housed in a variety of departments
(Sociology, World Languages, History, English, Political Science, and so on), and
they are open and available to all students in all majors.
Below, you will find contact information and web links for each of the seven World
Regional Minors.
Affiliation With Global Studies:
Since Global Studies integrates so well with these World Regional programs, they have
now also been formally linked with the GS curriculum.
Prior to 2021-2022, the GS major required 39 credit hours, with 9 of these in a particular
global region, and an 18 credit hour minor-- for a total of 57 credit hours. With
the new system, the GS major is reduced to 30 credit hours and students choose one
of the World Regional Minors—for a total of 48 credit hours.
With this new affiliation, students will thus combine the conceptual knowledge and
experience abroad gained from Global Studies, with a substantive focus on a region
of interest in the world, and do so with fewer credit hours and increased flexibility.
