The International Studies minor can be paired with many different majors including those in business, education and science. The minor has required courses (6 crs.) that provide an overview of international studies. Core courses (6 crs.) and elective courses (9 crs.) give students flexibility to pursue their own international interests. Study abroad and foreign language learning are highly encouraged, but not required. Study abroad courses may be applied to a maximum of 15 credit hours of minor requirements. Students must take INTL 200 and INTL 300 at Shippensburg University.
