Australia Track

Planning an Interactive Project in Melbourne?  Then you might want to consider an International Studies minor with an "Australia Track."

An Interactive Project or Major Project at Melbourne (or another Global Project Center) counts as one unit of the three units required by the minor. One unit of courses from your Humanities and Arts or Social Science Requirements may count towards the minor’s international electives. ID2050 also counts as an elective or a cross-cultural course.  All that remains is one unit (three courses) in the International Studies "core." The core requires one history course, one cross-cultural course, and HU 4411, Senior Seminar in International Studies. One unit of the minor may not double-count with other degree requirements.

Here are several examples of an Australia track. These are merely examples and the courses you choose could be different. The only course that everyone must take is HU 4411.

1 unit International Core HI 1341 Introduction to Global History
SS 2406 Cross-Cultural Psychology
HU 4411 Senior Seminar in International Studies 1 unit Humanities and Arts or Social Science courses HI 2316 American Foreign Policy from Woodrow Wilson to the Present
HI 2324 Industry and Empire in British History
HI 3341 Topics in Imperial and Postcolonial History 1 unit Interactive Project at Melbourne OR: 1 unit International Core HU 1412 Introduction to Asia
HU 3411 Pro-seminar in Global Perspectives
HU 4411 Senior Seminar in International Studies 1 unit Humanities and Arts or Social Science courses ID 2050 Social Science Research for the Interactive Project
HI 2333 History of Science from 1700
HI 3331 Topics in Science, Technology, and Society 1 unit Interactive Project at Melbourne

Courses on Australian history and culture to prepare for an Interactive Project in Melbourne (such as ID 2050) may also count towards the electives of the International Studies minor.

Since the background and goals of each student are different, these requirements are flexible. In essence, the Australia Track is a sample program that demonstrates how students with experience at the Melbourne Project Center may shape the minor to meet their goals.
