Trinity Academics - International Studies . The Program Trinity's International Studies Program allows students to combine courses from various departments into a single interdisciplinary major under the direction of faculty advisors from the various participating departments. Students take five courses from a ten-course World Affairs core which includes Political Science, Communication, Economics, and Anthropology. East Asian Studies, European Studies, or Latin American Studies, taking upper-division courses in the language and history of their region.
Most students spend at least a semester abroad.
Electives and a Senior Seminar round out the major requirements which total 36 semester hours. The minor, which requires 24 semester hours, is intended to complement and supplement the majors offered by the University's various departments. Minors take fewer courses in the core and the language of their concentration, but they are required to take the Senior Seminar along with the majors. Languages Across the Curriculum Trinity offers an array of modern languages which help meet the requirements of the International Studies Program. These include French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian and Chinese.
