These are the courses that the Chair designates (new courses, special courses) as IA electives for the upcoming semester – this changes every fall and spring. The following courses offered in Fall 2024 will count towards support course credit in International Affairs (INAF elective or INAF foreign literature in course searches, while in Banner they have an attribute of IAEL or IALT) in addition to the permanent electives pre-approved for this purpose.
Some special topic temporary IA elective courses here may not have the INAF designation in course searches, but if they are on this list, they count as an IA elective (if you would like to double check, check with the Department Chair).
When registering for classes, remember to check for overlap credit limits between major requirements and minor requirements (in case of double majors, a minor, or multiple minors).
