    Advising

    The interdisciplinary character of the major and minor in International Studies requires that students carefully coordinate their course of study across many academic departments. Early planning is essential to a successful program as schedules can conflict and not all courses are offered in every year. 



       Faculty and Staff Advisors
    Students majoring in International Studies will be assigned an advisor with expertise in their area of concentration (economics, political science, or humanities). Students minoring in International Studies may consult with the Program Advisor, Ms. Patricia McLaughlin and/or with the Director of the Program, Prof. Robert Murphy.  Additionally, faculty from many disciplines are associated with the International Studies program and are a good source of advice for students.

       Peer advising
    All majors and minors as well as prospective students are encouraged to consult with our student peer advisors. Peer advisors are senior International Studies majors available to help students chart their course of study by discussing classes, studying abroad, internships, and senior research projects.
