Administrative Assistant, Fran Meffe (905) 688-5550, extension 4224 Mackenzie Chown F242 The Centre for International Studies offers an interdisciplinary program; it is not a major, but rather is designed to contribute to the development of international perspectives across disciplines. Students take required International Studies courses along with approved internationally-oriented courses offered by other centres and departments. Two programs of study are offered: 1) the Certificate in International Studies; 2) the Concentration in International Studies (must be taken in concert with an honours single or combined major degree). Three fundamentals are stressed in International Studies: 1) cultivation of another language; 2) comparative analysis of cultures and state-level systems; and 3) study of practical problems on a global scale. International Studies allows students to enrich their work in other Departments and Centres, contextualizes area studies focussed on particular parts of the world, and supports exchange programs in which Brock participates. Students in International Studies must demonstrate written and oral proficiency in English and one other modern language at a level adequate for practical communication. Normally, two credits in a modern language must be completed in order to satisfy this requirement. Relevant languages currently taught at Brock include French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish. Students wishing to study another language as part of International Studies must consult the Director. Language study should be started as early as possible in the program. Students already possessing demonstrable proficiency in a modern language other than English may apply to substitute other courses qualifying for International Studies credit. Experience in another nation is strongly recommended, normally in year 3. It is possible to complete INTL 3P91 while abroad. The Office of International Services facilitates formal exchange programs with numerous countries. See the International Study and Exchange Programs entry for more information. |

The certificate in International Studies is available to persons who already have a degree or do not wish to pursue a degree. Prospective candidates should consult the Director before beginning the certificate sequence. This sequence normally requires part-time study over a minimum of two academic years. The certificate is awarded after completion of five appropriate credits with a minimum 60 percent overall average. In keeping with the rules and conditions for certificates, students who go on to be admitted to a degree program may be permitted to count certificate credits towards that degree.
Credits counted towards the certificate must be taken from at least three different subject areas. Students with demonstrable prior written and oral proficiency in a modern language other than English may apply to substitute other courses qualified for International Studies credit. |
