International Studies
Administrative Committee: A. Akkerman (Geography & Planning), C. Echevarria (Economics), P. Elabor-Idemudia (Sociology), J. Garcea (Political Studies - ex officio), J. Handy (History), M. Lovrod
(Women's & Gender Studies), S. Rahimi (Archaeology &
Anthropology), C. Holroyd (Political Studies), J.
Torres (Languages & Linguistics), and a student representative of
the International Studies Students' Association (ISSA).
This
program is designed to meet the requirements for a B.A. Four-year or
Honours degree based on Program Type B in the College of Arts &
Science. It will provide a broad introduction to the field of
International Studies and a strong grounding in one of the four required
streams: Development Studies, International Cooperation and Conflict,
and Latin American Studies.
The core departments participating in
the International Studies Program are Archaeology & Anthropology,
Economics, Geography, History, Political Studies, and Sociology. Native
Studies and Women's and Gender Studies also
contribute courses in the program.
Students must choose 3 to 6 credit units in 100-level courses from 5 of the 6 core departments.
Major Average
The major average in International Studies programs includes the grades earned in:
- All courses listed in the Major Requirement B6. (A maximum of 6 credit units of courses at the 400-level from a core department but not explicitly listed in the Major Requirement will be used in the calculation of the major average.)
Residency Requirements in the Major
To receive a degree in International Studies, students must complete at least two-thirds of the following coursework (to the nearest highest multiple of 3 credit units) from the University of Saskatchewan.
- Minimum requirements in Major Requirement B6.
See Residency for additional details.
Development Studies
Courses in the Development Studies Stream have been selected to provide students with a broad, interdisciplinary education focussing on the conditions and problems of less-developed countries comprising the so-called "Third World", the history and theory of economic development around the world, and the geographic and environmental consequences of "development".
The recommended courses in this stream include examinations of specific aspects of third world development in all of the disciplines involved in the program. These include courses in the history of European expansion and colonialism, anthropology and sociology courses dealing with comparative cultural and social change, history, political studies, geography and economics courses which deal with specific regions of the third world and courses which discuss in a broad international context issues of particular importance to development (resource use, the environment, urbanization, health, gender, indigenous issues, and agriculture). Courses of particular relevance from the Departments of Native Studies and Women's and Gender Studies are also included.
Students specializing in this stream will also have the opportunity (and will be strongly encouraged) to study aspects of development in field courses and study abroad programs held outside of Canada. These currently include opportunities to study in the Americas and Africa. With the approval of the Chair of the International Studies Program, such courses may take the place of recommended courses in this stream.

International Cooperation and Conflict
This area of concentration provides students with the opportunity to study the relationships between states, the impulses and avenues used for international cooperation, as well as the reasons for and complexity of conflict in the international arena. Both cooperation and conflict in the international arena, of course, is not necessarily limited to states, and courses in this stream examine these two issues at a variety of levels.
A large number of Political Studies courses are included in the required and recommended lists for this stream, but the stream also includes numerous courses in History and Economics which deal with both cooperation and conflict in the international arena. Courses in Sociology and Anthropology which focus on ethnic relations and conflict are also important elements of the stream.

This program is under review. Please note that no new students will be accepted into this program in 2013-14. Students already accepted as majors in this program will be allowed to complete the program. Please consult with the Department of Political Studies and/or the Undergraduate Student Office for more information.
What most decidedly sets the Latin American Studies stream apart is the Guatemala Term Abroad. This term is a joint program with the University of Guelph and offers students the opportunity to complete as many as 21 credit units in University of Saskatchewan courses while resident in Guatemala. This is a unique opportunity not duplicated in any other university in Canada (except Guelph) which, combined with required and recommended courses at the University of Saskatchewan, contributes to a strong Latin American Studies stream.
Students enrolled in this stream will be required to attend the Guatemala Term Abroad and complete at least 12 credit units (which may include 3 credit units in Spanish) there. They will also be required to complete a course in Modern Latin American History or the Comparative Politics of Latin America. This stream also includes 3 more required credit units in a modern language than the other two thematic streams.
Recommended courses in this stream include particular regional or thematic approaches to Latin American history and topical or thematic courses in all of the disciplines which deal with issues of particular importance for Latin America.
