Related Majors and Minors

Birmingham-Southern College recognizes the value and importance of international and cultural education and has taken steps to ensure that its students have a variety of opportunities through which they can pursue a global education. BSC's curriculum offers a major in International Studies; majors and minors in Asian Studies, French, German, and Spanish; and a minor in Latin American Studies. In addition, a new International Studies course entitled “Pre-departure Topics for Study Abroad” prepares students specifically for the experience of adjusting to and studying in a foreign country.

Courses in these areas are designed to provide students with a deeper cultural understanding of a region's language, history, economy and politics. Students may also study other foreign languages not currently offered at BSC through collaboration with other Birmingham colleges and universities. Study abroad is encouraged for all of these majors and minors.
