4 Total Credits 500 4 III. Study Abroad All majors are required to study abroad for at least one semester. Note that many (but not all) study abroad courses can count toward students’ specialty track course requirements. Students are expected to obtain requisite permission for counting study abroad courses toward the major 4 prior to their international study experience. 4 The “one-semester” study abroad requirement can also be met by taking three (3) 3-credit or 4-credit 3-week (Fall or Spring) intensive study abroad courses (i.e. the 3-week intensive courses offered under the 3-12/12-3 curriculum). Of the three 3-week intensive study abroad courses, two must be to regions matching the student’s Specialty Track. In the case 4 of students following the International Affairs Specialty Track, the three 3- week intensive courses may be study abroad courses to any region. Any 4 summer-semester coursework for three or more academic credits may also 4 be considered for fulfilling this requirement. In case of any ambiguity about 4 whether or not any particular 3-week intensive study abroad course can count toward a particular area track, a final decision will be made by the Chair of International Studies. 4 IV. Proficiency in a Modern Language relevant to the chose Specialty 4 Track, at the second Intermediate level or its equivalent Determined by the Modern Language Studies Department's appropriate proficiency exam (0-8 credits, or 0-2 course units, depending on one’s 4 placement). This requirement can be fulfilled by the completion of a 4 Modern Language course at the second intermediate level with a C- or 4 above, or by testing out of that level in the Modern Language Studies 4 Department’s placement exam. Only the third and fourth semester (i.e. second year) of language credits count toward the major. In case of any ambiguity in choice of language, a consultation with the Chair of International Studies is required. 4 As students need at least 32 credits (or 8 course units) to complete the 4 major, if students place out of the Foreign Language requirement for the International Studies major, they must take at least two (4 credits each x 2 = 8 credits, or 2 course units) additional elective courses in any area (any “specialty track”). In other words, these courses may be (but do 4 not need to be) within the student’s specialty track. These courses may 4 be at any level. These electives may be fulfilled by additional advanced 4 language coursework in the student’s chosen modern language. These 4 electives may also be fulfilled by language coursework in a different language (i.e. different from the language(s) for which the student has already demonstrated proficiency), or any combination of the two (e.g.

Notes: A student may substitute one internship or independent study at the 200 or 300 level for one elective at the same level. Students may not receive credit at the 400 level for an independent study. Under special circumstances, with the approval of the department chair, a student may substitute a second 300-level elective for the required 200- level elective. Students considering graduate school in sociology or social work are strongly encouraged to take an elementary statistics course at Guilford or elsewhere.
