- 27 hours from courses in at least three different disciplines,

The Concentration in International Relations requires a 9 hour regional specialization in courses from at least two different departments. Regional specializations include Europe, Russia/Central Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Middle East. This is a non-additive requirement; the hours may be taken from courses used to satisfy the other concentration requirements. Students must also take at least three hours in a geographic area outside this regional specialization.
