Make Your Degree More International

The University of Calgary is committed to preparing its students for life in an increasingly global economy and society. An International Component will be part of every undergraduate student's degree program at the University when the current curriculum changes are finished, and are already a requirement of many programs. An International Component will provide students with an understanding of international relationships and issues with a particular view to the benefits and challenges of interaction of peoples, cultures and environments around the globe. It provides opportunities to develop an awareness of international, multicultural or aboriginal perspectives.

All students are encouraged to enrich the international component in their program in one or more of the following ways:

1. By participating in a term-abroad, field school, credit travel study, or student exchange experience in another country. Students should contact their faculty or the International Student Centre for information or visit the ISC Web site. (www.ucalgary.ca/UofC/students/ISC)

2. By including in their program a major or minor that focuses on international, aboriginal, or multicultural issues:

African Studies

Anthropology

Central and East European Studies

Chinese

Development Studies

East Asian Studies

French

Geography

German

International Relations

Italian

Japanese

Latin American Studies

Northern Planning and Development Studies

Russian

Spanish

3. By taking courses where the language of instruction is a language other than English. (Call 220-4000 for a list of such courses offered in French.)

4. By including several of the following courses in a degree program. Please note that some of the following courses have prerequisites or other registration restrictions. The courses can be taken as part of a major field or minor or among the degree options:
