International Studies A.A. Degree
The program listed below is a pattern of courses leading to an Associate in
Arts Degree only and does not meet the transfer requirement for the
International Studies major. Students planning to transfer should consult the
catalog of the university to which they intend to transfer. Modern technology
has permanently changed the character of life on this planet. With the speed of
modern communication, events that occur half a world away-military, economic, political-impact us almost immediately. Given this global perspective, a major
which examines the increasing interdependence of nations from several points
of view–political, economic, historical, and geographical–will better prepare
today's student to live in and contribute to the modern world. This major is
increasingly in demand. UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Los Angeles
have programs in international relations. Davis has a major in international relations, while UCSB and UCLA offer an emphasis within the political science
major. In the CSU system, CSU Chico and CSU San Francisco offer B. A.
Degrees in international relations, and Fresno and Pomona offer M. A. Degrees.
Business majors at many campuses offer an international emphasis within the
major. In addition, there are a number of private schools, such as Monterey
Institute and University of the Pacific, which have programs in this area, in
some cases including post-bachelor's degrees.
