International Relations
The International Relations Specialization may be the path for you if you have an interest in international relations, foreign policy, diplomacy, and politics.
Students may select five of their upper-division history electives in the field of International Relations. These courses are diverse in their historical perspectives, regional emphases, and time periods covered, but they all concentrate on international relations and diplomacy. Students engage primary and secondary sources, study historiographical trends, and explore the effects of various historical movements and ideologies on the foreign relations of diverse nations.
The requirements for the International Relations Specialization are the same as for the History Major, except that 15 of the 21 elective credits must be taken from a select list of courses.
