International Studies Program
Executive Summary
The proposed International Studies program has been developed to address an
important academic area that relates closely to the university's
internationalization goals during the next decade. The old chestnut that "all
politics is local" has lost a good deal of its credence. Increasingly, "all politics is
global." Most of the major issues facing citizens and communities around the
world are not only very similar, they are also closely linked problems, and they
require solutions that are generally beyond the scope of any one state or society.
Problems such as terrorism and other security crises, global resources, the
environment, human migration and refugees,, drug control, health crises,
economic development, and crime do not have state frontiers. All such
challenging issues are, in fact, "problems without passports."
Simon Fraser University's BA with a Major Program in International Studies is
designed to provide students with a strong foundation for understanding and
addressing the global issues that are found in today's increasingly complex, inter-
dependent and rapidly changing world. Through a comprehensive and focused
course of studies and dialogue students will be able to acquire the knowledge
and skills with which to analyze and respond to the most pressing international
• 1
issues confronting the members of the global community. Students in the Majors
Program, will explore the character and causation of various global problems,
examine how such issues have been manifest in diverse regional and cultural
settings, and evaluate the alternative policies that have been offered to manage
or resolve existing global challenges. Such a course of study will assist
participants in the Majors Program to acquire a sophisticated understanding of
global problems, and also prepare students for the kinds of professional careers
and leadership roles in the international field that are directly connected to
problem-solving and policy-making.

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES PROGRAM
Introduction
Simon Fraser University's International Studies Program is designed to provide students with a
strong foundation for understanding the factors that influence today's increasingly complex, in-
ter-dependent and rapidly changing world. Students enrolling in the program will acquire the
skills relevant to workplaces and organizations routinely involved in meeting current and future
global challenges. While premised on the important task of conveying comprehensive knowl-
- edgc of the global situation, the-program also offers practical training for--theoMion of -major,-
problems within and across societies, as well as developing toleration and understanding
among diverse cultures. The agenda of international issues that affect Canadians and citizens
of
other countries has become quite broad: human dimensions of climate change, the AIDS cri-
sis, political and bio-terrorisrn, human rights, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction,
debt, poverty, to mention only some of the most pressing matters. Only through a comprehen-
sive grounding in today's real-world problems can students acquire the knowledge and skills
required to pursue careers in the private and public sectors having an international dimension.

munication and strategic intelligence, international law, world business trends, environmental
issues, economic development, ethnic and religious extremism, migration studies, health stud-
ies, technology and other global factors.
Simon Fraser University is particularly fártunate to have faculty members in many fields who
can offer the broad range of expertise regarding the historical and contemporary evolution of
international affairs. Such specialists, pursuing their areas of study from different perspectives,
can provide the basic and advanced underpinning for an informed consideration of world prob-
lems in a turbulent global environment. SFU's International Studies Program draws upon re-
sources across the university, bringing experts from disparate disciplines into fruitful collabora-
tion in order to address major issues.
1.
The Baccalaureate program is envisioned as one component in a University Center that will
comprise undergraduate and graduate studies, as well as a research group for advanced inter-
national studies.
2.
Cooperation with partner institutions and associates throughout the world will also assist in
helping students to grasp and address issues and dilemmas that characterize the present inter-
national landscape.

The International Studies Program requires each student to include some study abroad as part
of their undergraduate education, preferably in their third or fourth years of studies. Such study
can be counted toward the elective requirements with the approval of the program. Such study
can occur, for example, through:
• SFU Field Schools (current field school locations include France, Greece, the Czech Republic,
China, and Vietnam).
• Enrollment in a foreign university program. Through the office of SFU International, SFU has
bilateral relations in 30 different countries and 61 participating universities. With approval from
the program advisor, students may take courses abroad to fulfill some module credit require
.
-.rnents towards the International Relations major.
• Short-term foreign visits. Opportunities for international conferences, colloquia and research
are available through the International Studies program.
• Co-op Internship. Students can gain work experience in a foreign country, either for an over-
seas organization or for a Canadian affiliate. Other work experience includes employment
through organizations such as the Department of Foreign Affairs under its Internships programs.
These programs include: Global Issues, International Trade, and Value and Culture.* Students
in good standing with a minimum GPS of 3.0 may apply to the Co-op Program after satisfactory
completion of 45 credit hours. The program consists of two separate work semesters in a for-
eign relations field. Arrangements are made through the Faculty of Art co-op advisor.
International Field School
and Exchange Courses:
The following courses are available to all students in the University for credit in approved SFU
field schools or as transfer credit for courses taken abroad in an exchange program. When the
topics are appropriate, these courses may be applied to International Studies degree require-
ments in fulfillment of module requirements. See the program advisor for the procedures for
having such courses approved.

Program Consultation
Members of the Steering Committee on International Studies-- composed of
faculty members from several Departments-- consulted widely with faculty mem-
bers from the various SFU Departments whose courses are included in the Pro-
gram on International Studies. The Departments of Political Science, Econom-
ics, and History, whose courses are of particular centrality to the modular struc-
ture of the Program, communicated a number of suggestions which were care-
?
S
fully considered in the drafting of the final proposed program. (Political Science
and History through special ad hoc committees designated for this task and
Economics through that department's Undergraduate Curriculum Committee).

Letter of Intent
Institutional and Program Identification
• Institution awarding the degree? Which other institutions, if any, will contribute to this
instructional program, and precisely what will each contribute?
The program will be offered by Simon Fraser University. Students in the program will
also participate in field schools, exchange programs, and internships and there will be
collaboration with government agencies and other non-governmental organizations.
• What is the credential that will be awarded to graduates?
Students will be awarded a Bachelor of Arts with a major in International Studies
• Faculty and school offering the new degree program? Name, title and phone number of the
institutional contact person if more information is required?
The degree will be offered by the Faculty of Arts at SFU. The program will be
administered by International Studies Steering Committee in the Faculty of Arts. Further
information can be obtained from:

Program Description
What student audience does this program intend to serve?
The INTS program is designed primarily for students with a background or interest in
fields such as Political Science, History, Economics, Geography, Sociology, the
Humanities, as well as and other areas of study. Students will therefore be able to obtain
specialization in international issues through a curriculum which can provide integrated
S
training and experience concerning the complex and challenging issues that are central to
global affairs. A broader audience may be current public or private sector employees
who wish to specialize in specific dimensions necessary to understanding and addressing
international issues.
/44
Anticipated enrollments for this program
In the first year of enrollment we expect approximately 20-30 students with more
students in the subsequent year as the program becomes established. The lower division
core courses will be open to all students who are interested in exploring the option of a
major in International Studies. It is expected that once the program is underway that
approximately 75 will enroll.
- - ?
Any evidence that this student audience is not currently being served with existing
?
-
offerings in the British Columbia post-secondary system.
As a modern "full service" university, SFU needs to develop a distinctive contribution in
the international area. The proposed program offers integrated, multi-disciplinary and
multi-dimensional training in, and exposure to, a wide number of international themes.
The program's intent is to allow students to draw upon relevant courses from
departments throughout the university. Additionally, through the program's links with
the business community, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and
also with other universities around the world, students will be able to acquire both
academic training and practical knowledge regarding international affairs. Training in
foreign languages and experiences in field schools will also provide enhanced career
preparation for problem-solving in the international sector. The synergy generated
through cooperation between International Studies and SFU's language training
capabilities will not only enhance career preparation for students in the proposed
program, but also hopefully assist in the goal of revitalizing language studies at the
university.
• What programs exist at other BC institutions which contain similar content or have
similar objectives, and t( similar what is the rationale for duplication.
Current programs related to undergraduate study in international affairs at UBC, UVIC,
and Royal Roads University are configured in a different manner than the proposed SFU
program. Such programs at other Provincial universities do not emphasize the extent of
integration among regional areas, disciplines, thematic questions, language training, and
foreign exposure that is contemplated in the current proposal for SFU. UBCs
considerable strength in the area of international relations is focused mainly on the
graduate level and on research activities; UVIC has an undergraduate inter-disciplinary
irunor in European studies and a policy-oriented Center for Global Studies; while Royal
Roads University programs are focused primarily on distance education models with
some short-term residency requirements at the campus. The IS program proposed here
differs from other programs in that it is an integrated and inter-disciplinary
undergraduate curriculum consisting of three components: international political history
and security matters, comparative politics and societal issues, and the area of economic
.
C
development and trade. The proposed program is premised on the belief that historical
issues, security issues, and developmental issues are inextricably linked, and are the
prerequisites for career training and policy leadership in the international area.
How do these relate to market niches or societal needs? What are the anticipated employment
opportunities for graduates?
The INTS program will enable SFU to more effectively prepare its graduates to deal with
current and future global challenges. Cooperation with partner institutions and
associates throughout the world will also assist in helping students grasp and address
issues and dilemmas that characterized the present international landscape. With
enhanced language and cultural skills—and greater expertise in international
affairs—students completing the program will also have increased employment
opportunities both locally, and abroad.
What is the expected normal time required for students to complete the program?
The expected timeline for students to complete the program is 4 years. Students
transferring from other institutions should be able to complete the program in two years,
depending on how many of their transfer credits meet the program requirements.
Admission and Transfer
• Describe the admission, and residency requirements for this program, including a plan for
transferability. Include how the following apply: Prior Learning Assessment, Transferability,
both into and out of the program, and Articulation arrangement.
The residency requirement will be a minimum of 60 credits from SFU: of these 60 credits,
30 credits must be at the upper division level, and of these 30 upper division credits, 15
must be in the INTS Major program. This is based on the assumption that credits from
overseas exchange programs will count as resident credits.
Program Resources and Timelines
• Describe the resources that will be required to mount this program including facilities, library
resources, faculty, etc?
SFU currently has the faculty and other resources to support a program in International
Studies. New faculty appointments associated with the proposed program and some
enhancements to the library reserves would enrich the program's take-off and
development
• What, if any, other programs will be reduced or eliminated in order to initiate the new
program?
•
/10.
None.
• What, is the intended implementation schedule of the degree program?
It is currently anticipated that the program will begin in the Fall of 2005.
