INCM 9510:Related Study of a Selected Regional Area

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: INCM 8004 or INCM 8001
Each student is expected to have an overseas internship experience and will be writing on a dissertation topic on events in a certain part(s) of the world. We therefore require a Regional Course. The knowledge gained will help in the internship and dissertation writing experiences and will provide the student with a sense of identity within the program. The courses may be at the master’s level and would thus be cross-listed for the Ph.D. program. The regional course may be taught from any number of disciplines (anthropology, communication, economics, geography, history, literature, political science, etc.). The type and number of regional courses would vary, but the following are examples: North America, Middle America (including Caribbean), South America, Europe, Russian Realm, North Africa/Southwest Asia (Middle East), Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, or Pacific Realm.
