Planning an Interactive Project in Copenhagen, Denmark?  Then you might want to consider an International Studies minor with an "Denmark Track."
 
An Interactive Project at Denmark (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. 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. ID2050 for Denmark may count as an elective or as a cross-cultural course in a Denmark Track. One unit of the minor may not double-count with other degree requirements.

Here are several examples of an Denmark 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

HU 3411 Pro-seminar in Global Perspectives

The goals of WPI's International Studies minor are to extend students' global horizons, enhance their disciplinary majors, and expand their career opportunities in the international arena. The International Studies requirements integrate student’s courses, projects, and overseas experiences. Since the background and goals of each student are different, these requirements are flexible. In essence, the Denmark Track is a sample program that demonstrates how students with experience at the Denmark Project Center may shape the minor to meet their goals.
