Return to: ACADEMIC PROGRAMS A-Z
Coordinator: Sharon R. Murphy, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science
The international studies major is an interdisciplinary program leading to a B.A. degree. It is designed to educate students in the theoretical, substantive, and ethical dimensions of both the methods through which nations interact and the problems that affect the world as a single unit. It also seeks to develop in each student a recognition and understanding of cultures outside those of the United States. The INS program helps to prepare students to enter careers in government, the foreign diplomatic service, intelligence agencies, international business, journalism, international law, and international service organizations. It is also an excellent preparation for graduate school in more specialized areas.
INS majors take at least four courses in one foreign language at or above the advanced level, ensuring that they are able to read, write and speak a foreign language. Being equipped with these skills gives them the edge as they enter the workforce or graduate school.
Study abroad is also required for INS majors because it gives them the opportunity to examine another society through personal observation and experience. Nazareth has a wide variety of study abroad programs for its students through our Center for International Education.
INS majors have the option to double major in international studies and inclusive childhood/middle childhood education to achieve teacher certification. Students are required to have a minimum GPA of 2.7 before beginning student teaching.

Required Courses for Inclusive Childhood/Middle Childhood Education Major
The following courses are required for the Inclusive Childhood/Middle Childhood Education major. The major prepares students for the initial teacher certification requirements in four certification areas: Childhood Education (Grades 1-6), Teaching Students with Disabilities at the Childhood Level (Grades 1-6), Middle Childhood Education - Generalist or Content Specialist (Grades 5-9), and Teaching Students with Disabilities at the Middle Childhood Level (Grades 5-9).
*Students in the Inclusive Childhood/Middle Childhood major who are pursuing a B.A. degree must take all electives in liberal arts areas in order to earn the 90 liberal arts credits that are required for the degree. International Studies Senior Experience
The senior experience has two parts. INS 400 - Junior-Senior Seminar in International Studies ties together and demonstrates the interconnectedness of the various courses and disciplines of the INS major. Particular attention is given to global trends in political, economic, and social development, and to contemporary problems faced by the international community. Students undertake a major research project in which they analyze a specific international issue and makes a policy recommendation toward its solution. They are also required to do a public, oral defense of it. INS 499 - Senior Comprehensive Examination provides an opportunity for graduating seniors to demonstrate, in both oral and written form, a proficiency in the discipline appropriate to the undergraduate level.
