Oregon State University
International Programs
(IP) provide the
leadership for Oregon
State University’s
involvement in a wide
range of international
activities: the exchange
of students and faculty,
cooperative research
and learning
experiences around the
world, international
curriculum development, and the

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND
SCHOLAR PROGRAMS
The Office of International Education
(OIE) provides a wide range of programs
and services for international students
and scholars on the OSU campus. At
present there are approximately 1,200
students and 464 scholars from more
than 80 countries at Oregon State
University. The OIE also sponsors
educational and cultural programs for
the university and Corvallis community.
The International Student and Scholar
section of the OIE provides special
assistance to international students. The
staff offers an orientation program for
new students; provides liaison with
university, community, and international
sponsors; advises on immigration and
other governmental regulations, medical
insurance coverage, cultural, and
personal matters; helps with financial
certifications for the transfer of funds
from other countries; administers
scholarship and loan funds; and advises
on the university’s policy of conditional
admission related to language proficiency. The office conducts workshops of
interest to international students on such
issues as practical training and re-entry,
and serves as a resource for the community and the university on cross-cultural
awareness and concerns.
The OIE also provides leadership for a
wide variety of cross-cultural activities to
enrich the experience of international
students on campus and in the community. Among the cooperating organizations are Crossroads International (a
community organization), West International Hall (an OSU residence hall for
international and American students),
and the International Students of Oregon
State University (ISOSU—a student
organization). Crossroads International
provides three-day home visits for new
international students, Friendship Home
contacts, conversation partners, and the
Crossroads Conversation School. In
addition, the International Cultural
Service Program (ICSP) provides tuition
remission scholarships to a select number
of international students who provide
cultural and educational service in the
mid-Willamette Valley area. These
“cultural ambassadors” visit classes, clubs,
service organizations, churches, nursing
homes, and businesses to share information about their countries and cultures.

OVERSEAS STUDY COURSES
The Office of International Education is
responsible for overseas study and
exchange programs. Each designation
below is unique to the programs offered
in a particular country (please refer to
program descriptions in previous
section.) The X88 numbers signify
overseas study courses. As in other OSU
courses, course level is indicated by the
first digit in the course number:
1 = freshman;
2 = sophomore
3 = junior
4 = senior
5 = graduate
Participating students are registered in
courses with the subject codes, numbers,
and credit ranges shown below. After
OSU course equivalents are determined
or the course has been completed
overseas, the generic overseas study
information is replaced either with direct
equivalencies from the departmental
course listings or with the appropriate
course-level designations, titles, and
credits for the courses below. For
example, a junior-level 4-credit course in
the history of 19th-century Australia
that was taken during participation in
the Australian overseas program at
Charles Sturt University might appear
on the student’s permanent OSU
academic record as OCSU 388 HST
Australia in the 19th Century (3 credits).
For more details about the following

Undergraduate Major
International Studies (BA)
The International Degree is Oregon State
University’s unique dual degree program. It allows any interested undergraduate student the opportunity to
explore the international dimensions of
any primary major. International Degree
students complete Advanced Proficiency
in a Second Language, Four Core
Courses in International Studies, an
International Experience, and a Senior
Thesis.
As an International Degree participant, you will earn two degrees. The first
degree, the primary degree, will be your
chosen major in any department on
campus. The International Degree, or
concurrent degree, will be in International Studies in your primary degree
department.
For example, if your primary degree is
a BS in Environmental Science, then the
International Degree would be a BA in
International Studies in Environmental
Science.
98
Oregon State University
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS TO
THE INTERNATIONAL DEGREE
PROGRAM
1. A minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA after
completing at least 32 credits of
college-level courses and good
standing within your department,
college and the University. The dean of
your college may give you special
consideration if you fall below this
minimum. See the International Degree
Office for more information about this
process.
2. Proficiency in a foreign language
equivalent to that attained by the end
of a second-year language sequence at
OSU. This may be met in one of the
following ways:
• Successful completion of four or
more years of consecutive study of
the same foreign language at the
high school level preceding admission to Oregon State University;
• Completion of the AP College Board
test in a foreign language with a
score of 4 or 5;
• Completion of the third term of a
second-year foreign language
sequence at OSU or at another
accredited university with a GPA of
3.0 or better. This course must
constitute a minimum of 4 quarter
or 3 semester credits.
• Completion of one term of a thirdyear foreign language course (i.e.,
any course designated 311, 312 or
313) at OSU or another accredited
university with a GPA of 3.0 or
better. This course must constitute a
minimum of 3 quarter or 2 semester
credits.
• An international student whose
native language is not English who
wishes to use English to satisfy the
foreign language entrance requirement will have satisfied the requirement upon admission to OSU.
3. Meet any additional requirements
established by your major department
or college.
Special Notes about Admission
If you change majors after admission to
the International Degree Program, you
will have to reapply for admission to the
International Degree Program in your
new department.
If you are pursuing two degrees
besides the International Degree, you
only need to apply for the International
Degree in one department. The choice of
departments is up to you, but you
should consult your advisers before
determining where to apply.
*You may be admitted to the program
as a pre-International Degree student if
you meet all the requirements listed
above except for the two-year language
requirement.
GENERAL INTERNATIONAL
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
You must successfully complete all
departmental, college, and institutional
requirements for your primary degree.
You must also complete a minimum
of 32 credits in residence beyond the
minimum 180 to 204 credits required for
most primary degrees. Courses taken
through an OSU-sponsored program
abroad are considered in-residence
credits. Depending on the level of
previous foreign language study and
experience abroad, you could take
anywhere from a minimum of 32
additional hours to a maximum range
of 70+ additional hours to complete the
degree.
Additional International Degree
requirements may be established for your
primary degree, so check with your
major adviser or the International
Degree Contact in your department to
make sure that you know what they are
and that you are able to complete them.
When you meet with your adviser, have
a transcript in hand.
As is currently true for all degrees,
your Academic Deans will verify that
you have completed the International
Degree requirements. The graduation
audit will be done along with and in the
same fashion as for your primary degree
by your major department. Confirmation of the International Degree will be
appropriately noted on your transcripts,
and you will receive separate diplomas.
SPECIFIC INTERNATIONAL
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
1. You must demonstrate advanced level
achievement or proficiency in a foreign
language in one of the approved ways.
Typically, this requirement is met by
completing the third term of a fourthyear language sequence at OSU.
Language courses must be taken for a
letter grade and all grades must be at
least a B (B- is not acceptable).
Exceptions may be considered only by
petition (see International Degree
office for details). To find out about
additional ways to demonstrate
advanced proficiency, contact the
International Degree office.
2. You must successfully complete a
minimum of four courses selected from
the baccalaureate core curriculum (see
General Catalog for yearly changes),
with the approval of your departmental International Degree adviser. These
courses are in addition to the
university’s baccalaureate core requirements. The International Degree course
requirements from the baccalaureate
core are as follows:
• One course selected from the Western
Culture category (3–4 credits);
• Two courses selected from the
Cultural Diversity category (6–8
credits);
• One course selected from the Western
Culture, Cultural Diversity, or
Contemporary Global Issues
categories (3–4 credits). Note: Not all
four courses may focus on the same
culture or language. For example,
you cannot take all four of the
additional Baccalaureate Core
courses focusing on Spanish
speaking countries/peoples.
• To see the current and entire
Baccalaureate Core list visit the Web
site: http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/
BCC.aspx.
3. The third requirement of the degree is
to spend a minimum of 10 weeks
overseas engaged in a study abroad
program, an international internship
or an international research project.
4. The final requirement for the degree is
to prepare a rigorous and integrative
senior thesis, that demonstrates a
fundamental and comprehensive
understanding of global issues and of
the international dimensions of your
primary degree. Requirements for the
Senior Thesis include successful
completion of INTL 407, Seminar:
International Issues: Introduction to
Thesis, for 1 credit and 3 to 6 credits of
403 (Thesis) in your department.
GRADUATION LANGUAGE
REQUIREMENTS
Students must demonstrate advanced
level achievement or proficiency in a
single foreign language in one of the
following ways:
• Completion of a fourth-year foreign
language sequence (designated 411,
412, 413) at OSU with a minimum 3.00
GPA in each course. Courses must be
taken for a letter grade and may not be
graded S/U.
• Completion of a fourth-year foreign
language sequence at another accredited university with a minimum 3.00
GPA, in a program in which the
combined third-year and fourth-year
language courses constitute a minimum
of 18 quarter or 12 semester credits.
• Completion of a minimum of 9
quarter (6 semester) credits with a
minimum 3.00 GPA, at Oregon State
University or another accredited
university, of any 400-level course work
(in any discipline) taught in a foreign
language, if approved by the student’s
primary degree department.
• Demonstration of end of fourth-year
level proficiency in a foreign language
by successful completion of an
achievement test administered by the
Department of Foreign Languages and
Literatures at OSU.
International Education
• Demonstration of oral proficiency in a
foreign language as evidenced by an
oral proficiency test administered by a
certified foreign language proficiency
tester, with the following Georgetown
Language Roundtable Rating (used by
the Defense Language Institute and the
Foreign Service Institute): Romance
Languages, Superior; Germanic and
Slavic Languages, Advanced Plus;
Other Languages, Advanced.
• For languages not offered at OSU, the
requirement may also be completed by
a minimum of nine-month residency
(study, research, work), after fulfilling
the foreign language entrance requirement, in a country in which the
language is spoken.
TEN WEEKS ABROAD
Students must spend a minimum of 10
weeks in another country where the
language used to meet the International
Degree requirement is spoken and be
engaged in one of the following:
• A study-abroad program offered by
OSU, another university, or a program
designed by the student. Programs
administered by other universities or
those designed by students must be
approved by the International Degree
committee and the student’s primary
department. Currently OSU has
university-sponsored programs in over
24 countries.
• An international internship or work
program that receives academic credit,
such as the IE3Global Internship
Program offered by OSU.
• A pre-approved research project
abroad, such as the International
Undergraduate Research Program
(IURP) offered by OSU.
• Previous international experience, such
as the Peace Corps, approved by the
primary academic department.
SENIOR THESIS
The final requirement for the degree is to
prepare a rigorous and integrative senior
thesis that demonstrates a fundamental
and comprehensive understanding of
global issues and of the international
dimensions of your primary degree. This
thesis places your academic discipline in
an international context, often in a
comparative fashion. Because it fulfills
the Writing Intensive Course requirement for the International Degree, it will
involve multiple drafts and revisions.
The final product will represent polished, formal writing, in a format
appropriate to your academic field.
Dual thesis requirements: You may
write one thesis to meet the International Degree requirement and the thesis
requirement in your department. If you
will complete a senior thesis to meet
another academic requirement in your
primary degree, it is important to
consult with academic advisers in your
major as well as in the International
Degree office.
• Example: If you are in the University
Honors College, you will work with
both the Honors College and the
International Degree office to ensure
that you fulfill both sets of
requirements.
Thesis proposal: A copy of the thesis
proposal form will be on file in the
International Degree Program office. The
topic will evolve as you work, and may
change substantially, but identifying an
appropriate adviser and developing a
proposal form are crucial steps in your
progress toward completion of the thesis
requirement of the International Degree.
If your thesis ideas change significantly,
it is important to file a revised proposal
with the ID Program office.
Thesis credit: Before graduating, you
will spend two to three terms working
on the thesis and will receive credits
through your major department. You
will receive credit under course number
403 (Thesis) in your major department.
The number of credits may vary
according to your department, but
generally total 3 to 6. These may be
distributed over multiple terms.
Requirements for the senior thesis
include:
Thesis class: As a part of your program,
you will enroll in the 1-credit class
INTL 407, Seminar: International Issues:
Introduction to Thesis, offered on a
pass/no pass grading basis. The course is
offered twice a year during fall and
winter terms. It is designed to help you
define and focus your areas of interest,
get an overview of research methods,
develop your thesis ideas, identify a
suitable adviser in your major department who will assist you throughout the
process, complete a thesis proposal form,
and develop a realistic and effective
timetable for completion. During this
course, you will receive a copy of the
guide, Preparing a Senior Thesis, and an
Adviser Information Sheet, which will
help you and your adviser as you work
on your thesis. Note: if you are also a
student in the University Honors
College, you may enroll in either the
UHC thesis class or the ID Program’s
thesis class.
Thesis log: The log is a notebook or
journal that chronologically records
progress, frustrations, setbacks, plans,
and attempts. It is valuable to begin
keeping a log to record ideas that
interest you as soon as possible, even if
you do not yet have specific thesis ideas.
As your ideas become more focused, the
log will reflect this. Typical entries might
include notes, questions, “what-if”
discussions, sketches, crude charts, mini-
99
evaluations, plans for the next day or
week, and tentative or partial calculations, especially in mathematical or
scientific projects. When you receive
feedback from your thesis adviser, record
the information in your log, label it as
“feedback,” and describe in brief
paragraphs how you assimilated the
evaluation into your project.
The log is another component in
meeting the WIC requirement for the
International Degree, and should be a
minimum of 8–10 typewritten pages (or
the equivalent).
Final thesis: This represents polished,
formal writing. Theses average 30–50
pages, but to ensure fulfillment of the
WIC requirement, even a thesis with a
nonverbal component such as art,
music, or photography must include a
minimum of 8–10 pages of formal
writing and place the thesis in the
appropriate historical/cultural context
by incorporating and documenting
outside sources.
• Example: A graphic arts student who
interned in Russia compared contemporary posters in the U.S. and Russia, and
displayed examples. He also wrote an
analysis of his findings.
Presentation: When your thesis is
complete, you will make a public
presentation of your work. The format
may vary depending on your topic and
your own preferences, but you will
present your thesis to a group including
your adviser, other interested faculty in
your department, representatives of the
International Degree program, and
other guests whom you may want to
invite.
Final copies of the log and thesis must
be turned in to your major department
and the International Degree Office two
weeks prior to the date that grades are
due for graduating seniors for the term
you plan to graduate. This is usually a
week before finals week.
ADDITIONAL COLLEGE AND
DEPARTMENT REQUIREMENTS
Business
The college has set the following
additional requirements for earning an
International Degree in Business. The
following courses are required in
addition to the requirements listed
previously.
• BA 445 International Financial
Management (4 credits)
• BA 446 Management of Multinational Enterprises (4 credits)
• BA 497 International Marketing
(4 credits)
• EC 440 International Trade, Theory
and Policy (3 credits)
If you take the College of Business
International Business option, you will
take course work different from the BA
100
Oregon State University
and EC courses listed above. The
additional courses that you would take
are determined by your educational
goals and are determined in conjunction
with the International Degree Adviser in
the college.
Health and Human Sciences
As part of the four additional Baccalaureate Core courses required for the
Degree, you must take HDFS 447
Families and Poverty (Contemporary
Global Issues category).
Foreign Languages and Literatures
To earn the International Degree you
must complete the second foreign
language required of a language major
through the fourth-year level. You must
also spend two 10-week periods abroad;
one in each of the countries where the
two languages you are studying are
spoken. For example, if you are a
German major and have decided to take
Russian as your second foreign language, you must complete the 400-level
Russian course and study abroad in both
Germany and Russia.
Additionally, you may not complete
major/minor requirements without
taking upper-division courses in the
OSU Foreign Languages Department
even if you complete the hour requirements abroad.
SCHOLARSHIPS
In support of the overseas learning
experience, the International Degree
Program has limited funds available to
assist students traveling abroad. These
are awarded on a competitive basis.
