Fields
Students must earn a minimum of 12 hours from one of the following Fields. Without exception, a minimum of 6 of these hours must be at the 300- or 400-level and in residence (taught by UA faculty). These courses must focus on topics that transcend one country or region (regions are defined here as Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and Africa, Russia and Eastern Europe, and Western Europe). A course focused on only one country or region, will not satisfy the Field requirement. With prior approval of the program director, courses such as Special Topics (content can vary), Honors, study abroad, internships (cannot be approved retroactively), and independent study (cannot be approved retroactively) may be considered as substitutions for those listed below. However, courses that focus primarily on art, film, folklore, language instruction, literature, music, natural science, or philosophy cannot be used as substitutes. This means, for example, courses designated as 'FL', 'L', 'FA', will not count. This list is not exhaustive.
