主要的需求
The international studies program examines the diversity and interdependence of the world’s peoples and their institutions. 自1969年以来, the program has trained students to analyze the variety of human experience and to consider the challenges posed to our planet by our current circumstances and history. 因为它的范围很广, the program asks students to choose from one of two pathways through the major: either the study of one of five world regions (Africa; Asia; Caribbean and Latin America; Middle East; or Russia and Eurasia) or the study of global interrelations with a disciplinary or thematic focus (global studies).
所有的专业, 无论是遵循区域研究还是全球研究途径, must take at least one course from the program’s “global core” (global studies majors take three); complete a minimum of four semesters of study in a single language other than English; complete at least one semester (or summer) of college-level study abroad; and cap their major with the INTS 401. 国际研究高级研修班. Area studies majors must also take at least five courses relevant to their world region from across the Trinity curriculum, and global studies majors must choose between a disciplinary or thematic focus cluster and a comparative regions option.

Core courses: All international studies majors must fulfill the following core requirements:
- 全球核心. 这些课程既是项目的门户，也是其智力核心. 所有专业必须至少选修一门核心课程, 全球研究专业的学生必须选三门, 其中一个应该在300级. 请参阅下面全球研究标题下的全球核心课程列表.
- 区域课程或重点集群. Students following the area studies pathway choose among the following five world regions (Africa; Asia; Caribbean and Latin America; Middle East; or Russia and Eurasia) and take five area courses according to the guidelines listed under the appropriate heading below. 其中一个一定是300级的. 在某些情况下, area studies majors may be allowed to fulfill this requirement by taking a 300-level course from the global core. 遵循全球研究途径的学生选择, 与他们的国际研究顾问协商, one of two options: a disciplinary/thematic focus cluster or comparative regions.
