International Studies majors are required to take courses from at least four different disciplines within their major. This distribution assures the interdisciplinary nature of your major. These courses may be part of your emphasis or your elective courses.

  • Foreign Language

All International Studies majors are required to complete the B.A. foreign language requirement, equating to at least two years (14 credits) of university-level study or its equivalent in one foreign language. Students arriving at UW Oshkosh with previous language study may test into the appropriate language level or test out of the two-year language requirement, pending approval from the Foreign Languages department.
