Each INIA major must complete 12 hours (four courses) from one of the following subfields. All 12 hours must be within any one of the 'concentrations' listed below.
Many courses that do not appear on our lists may count toward fulfilling your concentration requirement. These include courses offered at Marquette on an irregular basis which are often numbered 4931, 4953, or 4955. Some independent study classes may also fulfill concentration requirements. Students who study abroad may also count relevant courses regardless of whether they are listed under INIA major requirements or in the Marquette course catalogue. It is common, for example, for a student who is studying in Argentina to take courses about Argentina while in Argentina and use these to complete a Latin American Studies concentration.
All such substitutions, however, require the approval of the program coordinator. Prudence requires students to check with the coordinator prior to enrolling in the course. Also remember that no more than six hours of the credits counted to fulfil an INIA major may be counted towards any other major or minor.
Some concentration courses may fulfill university core or college core curriculum requirements.
