Interested in adding a minor聽to your IAFS degree? Over 40% of IAFS majors have a minor in another department!聽One of the many benefits of the interdisciplinary nature of the IAFS program is that students are taking courses in different departments across campus.
Want to add a certificate?聽IAFS has several undergraduate certificates intended to enhance your studies and聽build your resume while overlapping with IAFS degree requirements, but there are other certificates on campus that would also be a great addition to your IAFS degree.听
Across the CU Boulder campus, there are聽many minors and聽certificates聽that IAFS students may be interested in, or may already be taking credits towards completing!聽
- Are you interested in the Peace, Conflict and Security Certificate? Up to 12 of the 19 credits needed for the PACS certificate also count towards IAFS degree requirements.听
- Are you taking language courses to fulfill the IAFS Language Proficiency requirement? Most language minors are 18-20 credits.听
- A Political Science minor is 21 credits, and if planned correctly,聽IAFS students could incoroporate 6-18 credits of the PSCI minor throughout the academic plan for聽completing IAFS major requirements!
- Did you take microeconomics聽and macroconomics as an IAFS student (ECON 2010 and ECON 2020)? You already have 8 of the 20-22 credits necessary for the Economics minor. Many of the ECON courses that count towards the IAFS Functional Areas would also count towards the upper division requirements for the ECON minor!
- The 聽nicely complements the courses available through Functional Area II - International Economics, Business, and Political Economy聽and IAFS students minor in Business in order to work in international business, policy making, or to go on to their MBA.听
Please note: No more than four IAFS Functional Area courses can be from one department (ex: PSCI or ECON).听The requirements listed above聽for certificates and minors are subject to change.
If you are interested in adding a minor or certificate, make sure to check with your advisor to see how you can incorporate the additional coursework into your academic plan. A full聽list of Arts & Sciences undergraduate academic opportunities can be found here.听
