An International Relations / World Languages & Cultures Joint Information Session will take place on Friday, Feb. 24, 12:30–1:30 p.m., in Medbury Honors Lounge, for students to learn about new opportunities being unveiled this year in the area of international studies at Drake.

The Department of World Languages & Cultures is introducing new minors in language and culture (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Spanish), as well as minors in East Asian Studies and Latin American Studies.

The Department of Political Science is introducing new requirements for their international relations major, which include an enhanced commitment to teaching students about the global political economy and international law, as well as new course offerings in international security. In the current era of global change, there has never been a more exciting time to join these programs and become more aware of all the opportunities that they provide.

The information session will be an opportunity for students to learn more about the new major requirements and minors, as well as how to combine majors and minors across these two departments or with your current program of study in another department. For more information, contact Professor Mary M. McCarthy (mary.mccarthy@drake.edu) or Professor Marc Pinheiro-Cadd (marc.pinheiro-cadd@drake.edu).
