Students at Kentucky State University must be prepared to participate and compete in our increasingly globally connected world. Thus, they need to be exposed to an international curriculum that enables them to interact in, understand and appreciate cultures other than their own.
In view of the above, Kentucky State University offers a minor program in International Studies. A minor in International Studies requires the completion of 18 semester credit hours.
Required courses for the minor include either Introduction to Geography (GEO 102) or Seminar in Africana Studies (ASP 202). The remaining 15 semester hours for the minor are carefully selected from a list of approved courses emphasizing an international perspective.
