The foreign studies minor involves the study of countries and cultures beyond the borders of the United States with a large portion of the coursework taken while studying on site in at least one foreign country. Students combine specified UMD courses and a minimum of 12 credits completed while studying abroad to complete the minor. This minor both acknowledges and promotes the unique benefits of study abroad by informing students about world issues, international relations, and intercultural relationsips, as well as developing a better understanding of the place of their own culture and country in the world community. Students who study abroad are highly desirable to employers who compete in the international marketplace, are more comfortable in the world community, and are better prepared to adapt to situations involving diverse peoples.
Students pursuing a language major or minor or international studies major or minor are not allowed to overlap credits. The courses taken abroad may only apply toward one or the other.
