Students in UWM's International Studies minor take courses in history, political science, economics, anthropology, comparative literature, and foreign languages to build a program around their own specialized interests in international relations, politics, economics, or development.
Understanding the nuances of globalization in our personal and professional lives, speaking the languages of others, and appreciating cultural diversity are essential skills for living and working in the world today. The International Studies minor is based on the principles of the liberal arts with an emphasis on broad knowledge of people, places, and institutions, making for more adaptable and marketable young professionals in a fast-moving global economy. International studies minors learn to interact across cultures, study languages, analyze problems across cultural or national boundaries, adapt to new situations, appreciate differences in people and processes, and problem solve across different areas and formats.
With this background, students enhance their skill set preparing them for today's job opportunities in many different industries and for many different roles. Career choices immediately after college are often influenced by the hands-on experiences obtained during the college years. Students are encouraged to explore all of their options through internships, which may be completed for credit as part of the program.
Similarly, while not required for the minor, a study abroad experience can open up new opportunities that would not have even been imagined prior to going abroad. UWM has programs at more than 70 sites around the world that vary in length from a few weeks of immersion, to semester-long, to even full year programs.
Students often wonder what the differences are between Global Studies and International Studies. The foreign language requirements for the International Studies program are not as stringent as those in Global Studies, and study abroad or internship experiences are not required for International Studies. In addition, International Studies coursework is focused exclusively on courses found in the College of Letters & Science.
Requirements
The International Studies minor consists of a total of 18 credits, in which students must attain a GPA of 2.0 in all UWM credits attempted for the minor. In addition, the College requires that students attain a 2.0 GPA in all minor credits attempted, including transfer work. Students must complete in residence at UWM at least 9 credits of upper-division courses (numbered 300 and above) in the minor. Students may declare the minor after completing at least 15 credits.

Letters & Science Minor Advising
Advising for the minor takes place within the department by a faculty member or staff member. Follow the steps using the "Declare a Minor" button on the department’s website which may include instructions on how to select a faculty advisor if there is more than one to choose from.
Students who already have an L&S college advisor because their degree plan is in L&S can discuss the minor with them as well since they will be familiar with any minor in L&S. Students who are working on a degree from a UWM college other than the College of Letters & Science will not need an L&S college advisor for just a minor and one will not be assigned. These students should work with the faculty or staff advisor they receive as part of the minor declaration process or contact the department directly for assistance.
Applicants who have not started classes at UWM yet who wish to declare a minor should wait until they are registered for their first UWM classes and then can declare the minor using the “Declare a Minor” button on the program’s website. If you have questions about the minor before then, contact let-sci@uwm.edu.
