The Center for International Studies is the nexus for global and area studies and activities at Ohio University. The center's interdisciplinary teaching, research, publications, service, and outreach programs bring together faculty and students from all parts of the university-the social sciences, humanities, sciences and professional schools-in Athens and on the regional campuses. Ohio University established the Center for International Studies in 1964; it was founded on the broad belief that an appreciation of others' values and institutions increases mutual understanding, enriches individual lives, and prepares citizens and students for work in the global environment.

The Center for International Studies embodies Ohio University's commitment to international understanding and solidarity and to the development of knowledge and skills necessary for competition in a global marketplace of ideas and jobs. The Center seeks to advance its mission through interdisciplinary academic programs and activities; faculty development; the encouragement and promotion of research; the development of library resources; outreach to the community; the cultivation of solidarity with other peoples and cultures, particularly with the developing regions of the world; and the maintaining and strengthening of faculty area and international expertise in collaboration with other academic units. Through the Office of the Associate Provost for International Programs, the Center for International Studies coordinates Ohio University's international programs and activities.

The Center's African Studies Program has been designated a U.S. Department of Education National Resource Center since 1994. The Southeast Asia Studies Program also receives Title VI funding from the U.S. Department of Education. The Center's nationally known Monograph in International Studies series makes available more than 100 scholarly titles relating to Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.

M.A. Program in International Affairs

The Center's goal is to maintain and strengthen national benchmarks of excellence in area studies and studies of development policy and practice, while promoting the synergy that results from our unique combination of the two. Programs are centered on an interdisciplinary curriculum that combines the traditional foundations of the social sciences and the humanities with strategic linkages to the natural sciences and all of Ohio University's professional colleges. In support of the curriculum, programs emphasize utilization of new information technologies, the acquisition of professional skills, the development of language competency, and the cultivation of abilities that lead to good professional practice. Upon graduation students receive a Master of Arts awarded by the Center for International Studies.

General Requirements

Students must complete a minimum of 70 credit hours (90 credit hours in Communication and Development Studies). At least 40 credit hours must be devoted to core courses. The remainder is used to build an individualized, professional skills minor. A mandatory two-hour course requirement for all programs, International Studies (INST) 500: Introduction to Graduate Study, is offered in the fall quarter.

Depending on the program, one of the following is required to complete the degree: a comprehensive written exam, a comprehensive oral exam, or a research/grant proposal. This ordinarily takes place in the last quarter of study excluding summer.

A thesis option also is available. The number of credits granted for the thesis (up to a maximum of 10) is determined by the student's advisory committee.

All students in the M.A. program must maintain a minimum grade-point average (g.p.a.) of 3.0. If the g.p.a. falls below this level, students will be placed on academic probation. If the g.p.a. is not raised by the end of the following term, the student will not be permitted to continue in the program. University policy prohibits awarding any type of financial assistance to students on academic probation. Should a student receive more than two grades below a "B" ,the director reserves the right to drop him or her from the program. A grade below "C" will not count toward the degree requirement.

Language Proficiency Each student is required to demonstrate an acceptable level of achievement in a foreign language appropriate to the area of concen-tration. For non-European languages, this may be accomplished either by

a. satisfactorily completing a minimum of one academic year in one of the following languages: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Indonesian/Malay, Japanese, Siswati, or Swahili, or

b. taking an examination in a language not taught at Ohio University or demonstrating an acceptable level of achievement on an examination administered by other recognized testing agencies.

For students in concentrations offering a European language, an intermediate level of proficiency is required

Note:Thai and Vietnamese language courses are offered on demand. Latin American Studies offers Portuguese through the enhanced language skills option. Southeast Asian Studies requires two years of coursework or its equivalent in a Southeast Asian language. Language courses cannot be included in the degree hour requirement.


Admission

Persons interested in applying for admission must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited university and a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or its equivalent, plus the following requirements:
  • Two completed applications
  • Two official college transcripts from an accredited college
  • $30 non-refundable application fee (applications will not be processed without fee)
  • Affidavit of support with supporting documentation (international applicants only)
  • Three letters of recommendation (at least two from people who can judge academic abilities)
  • Autobiographical sketch
  • Statement of purpose (a two-page statement indicating career goals and how the program of study chosen will help meet those goals. Be specific in discussing the aspects of your personal and academic background that may lead to success in the area of study chosen)
  • A curriculum vita TOEFL scores (international applicants only)

Things to keep in mind:

  1. Each program has its own admission committee. Be sure to specify on the application the program for which you are applying
  2. Individual files will not be reviewed until all relevant documents have been received.
  3. Individuals who wish to receive early consideration for fall quarter admissions and financial aid should submit their materials by January 15. March 1 is the standard deadline for fall quarter; November 1 for winter quarter; February 1 for spring quarter; April 15 for summer quarter. International applicants are advised that it can take up to six months for visa processing and should therefore submit application materials at least six months prior to the desired quarter of entry rather than adhere to the dates listed above for winter, spring, and summer quarters.
  4. Communication and Development Studies, International Development Studies, and Southeast Asian Studies admit only in the fall quarter (September) with a firm application deadline of March 1.
  5. All International students will be required to take an English proficiency test (which includes composition) when they arrive on campus. The test can be waived if you hold a degree from an American university. If the level of proficiency is not at the 550 (paper test) or 213 (computer test) level you must enroll in the Ohio Program of Intensive English until you reach the required level. Financial aid cannot be used to pay for English language courses.

Financial Aid

The five programs under the Center for International Studies annually offer some financial assistance to students. Aid is awarded competitively on the basis of merit including previous academic performance or post-graduation professional or other work experience. Programs also look for geographical, cultural, linguistic and other forms of diversity so that the group of students collectively strengthens the program. The deadline is March 1. The criteria used to award aid are:
  • A good undergraduate record
  • Strong letters of recommendation
  • Appropriateness of background to program of study
  • Work experience
  • Special skills


Curricula and Courses

Degree programs are interdisciplinary and designed to give students freedom to choose courses from a number of fields that best fulfill their academic and professional objectives. Following are brief descriptions of the individual program requirements and a list of core courses appropriate to each area of concentration.


African Studies

The African Studies Program at Ohio University is a U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center for Africa. The African Studies Program provides students, scholars, and members of the broader community with opportunities to develop their understanding of this important world region. Facilities for research and language instruction, as well as formal degree studies, are available through the program. Students may earn a Master of Arts in International Affairs degree with a major in African Studies through the Center for International Studies.

The African Studies Program grew out of the excitement emanating from the decolonization of the continent in the mid-1960s and the awareness of the important role Africa could play in U.S. and world affairs. Today the multi-disciplinary nature of the program allows students to build a course of study reflecting Africa's contemporary reality. Themes include the socioeconomic development of the continent in the context of Africa's grand cultural and historical traditions, ecological sustainability, and the African family. Students may also view the study of Africa as an excellent case-study of the process of social change in the modern world.

The Institute for the African Child

Promotes and coordinates research and advocacy for the world's most marginalized of population groups�the children and youth of the African continent.

The Ohio University Board of Trustees established the Institute for the African Child in 1998. This new initiative is designed to expand the conversation among African Studies scholars, to include those in the professional fields of communication, education, health and human services, and medicine, to work together on issues that affect Africa's children. Clearly there are no one-dimensional problems in the field of children and youth issues in Africa. Our intent is to provide a new cross-disciplinary venue for conferences, fellowships, and collaborative research that will lead to improvement in the living conditions of this important population. The establishment of the Institute for the African Child is also a new opportunity to raise awareness of the impact of the health-education-information nexus on minority children in Africa's Diasporas.

Degree Requirements

Students are required to complete a minimum of 70 quarter hours of course work. Ohio University departments offering African Studies core courses include Anthropology, African American Studies, Biological Sciences, Business, Communication, Economics, Education, Environmental and Plant Biology, Geography, History, International Studies, Linguistics, Nutrition, Philosophy, Political Science, and Women's Studies. Students may also combine courses in Art History, Literature and Philosophy for an African Humanities component of the interdisciplinary course distribution.

Proficiency in an African language is an important element of the African Studies degree and is seen as an essential tool for understanding the culture and working on the continent. The requirement can be fulfilled through a satisfactory FSI score, completion of the proper course work, or evidence of fluency in an African language.

African languages offered at Ohio University include Gikuyu, Siswati, and Swahili. A wide variety of languages also are available through Ohio University's participation in the Summer Cooperative African Language Institute (SCALI), a nine-week intensive summer language program.

FLAS Fellowships

The African Studies Program is pleased to offer Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships. FLAS fellowships are open to new and continuing graduate students. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Fellows receive a stipend of $11,000 plus tuition and fees. FLAS fellows are required to study an African language and carry a full-time academic load of 15-18 graduate units per quarter. Competitive applicants demonstrate a strong Africa career and/or research interest. Applicants should indicate in their "statements of purpose" how the African language study would enhance their research/career goals.

International Development Studies

Through the Center for International Studies, Ohio University offers a program leading to the Master of Arts in International Affairs (MAIA) degree in International Development. The program is designed for those who have background and interest in the Natural Sciences (including Biological, Health, and Environmental) or Social Sciences, and who wish to incorporate one of these disciplines into the field of international development.

The program provides a broad perspective examination of issues related to growth and change in developing countries. A multi-disciplinary approach focuses on combining theory, practical application, research, and implementation skills to produce graduates who are catalysts for international development.

Students in International Development Studies build upon a core curriculum by specializing in one of three disciplinary concentrations:

International Development and Health

As expressed in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, health is a basic human right that resides within the context of human and social development. Because it reflects wider social, economic, and political influences, health should be approached in an integrated manner. The concentration in International Development and Health explores global health problems that affect developing nations. It provides students with an understanding of the field of health and international development while considering the important contribution that a healthy population makes to its own social and economic development process.

International Development and the Environment

Environmental problems and degradation pose a growing threat to the well being of people throughout the world. Workable solutions must focus on how humans and their social and economic interests interact with the resources of the natural environment. The concentration in International Development and the Environment is designed to provide students with an understanding of how people perceive and utilize the environment and how various processes involving the relationship between human beings and their surroundings either damage or protect the environment. This program challenges and prepares professionals to take action in response to environmental issues facing developing countries.

International Development and Social Sciences

There are numerous economic, environmental, social, and political challenges facing developing countries today. International development becomes a vast multidisciplinary area of concern and action and embraces a multitude of approaches. The International Development and Social Sciences concentration prepares students to study and analyze a broad scope of issues facing developing nations today within the conceptual framework of economics, political science, sociology, anthropology, and geography. Particular attention is paid to courses and development approaches that are designed to serve and enhance the capability of communities to further their own development.

Degree Requirements

 
  1. 70 hours approved coursework including:
    20 hours core courses
    10 hours methods
    15 hours development electives
    25 hours disciplinary concentration
  2. Language proficiency
  3. Preparation of grant proposal or thesis. Each student is required to complete either a grant proposal or thesis. Candidates choosing the proposal option will develop a grant proposal addressing a need in a particular developing region of the world. Candidates who choose the thesis option are expected to complete a course of study that culminates in a scholarly work of publishable quality.
Core Courses

The program core is structured around a progressive series of pro-seminars, colloquia, and courses in development for 20 credit hours. These courses deal with concepts, issues, and methods of development and draw on the worldwide interests and experiences of students and expert faculty. The courses listed under "methods" and "development" reflect the spirit of the requirements; other courses may apply as well.

Certificate Programs

While pursuing the MA degree in International Studies, it may be possible to fulfill the requirements of one or more of the available certificate programs which include Conservation Biology, Contemporary History, Gerontology, Health Policy, and Women's Studies.

Internships

Internships are strongly encouraged. Such an experience with a domestic or international development organization allows the student to put into practice what has been learned from the program. Modest funds are available, on a competitive basis, to support local internships and research travel.

Entry is only available in the FALL Quarter (September).

Latin American Studies

The program maintains solid teaching and library strength concerning both South and Central America. In regard to South America, it has strong institutional relations with�and faculty interest in�Brazil and Ecuador, and excellent library holdings for the whole region. It is especially known, however, for its strength in the area of Central America, where strong faculty interests and numerous publications are informed and enriched by an out-standing library collection. Among other things, the library features a large and varied microfilm/fiche collection of U.S. diplomatic records. Since 1997, it is the only official depository collection of Guatemalan government publications in the United States.

The Latin American Studies Program is actively career oriented. Over four-fifths of its graduates find careers in or related to Latin America in areas such as teaching, non-governmental organizations, government service, business, and communication. The special, second Iberian language option, as well as the skills minor, greatly enhances graduate's employment options. In addition, the program works to find its candidates Latin America-related internships in Washington, other cities in the United States, and in Latin America. Participation in internships is encouraged and earns academic credit towards the 73-hour graduation requirement.

Degree Requirements

The program is designed to allow students to acquire or expand multidisciplinary knowledge, expertise and language skills concerning Latin America. Students must complete seventy-three credit hours of course work including forty in explicitly Latin American-focussed material, twenty-five in a "skills minor" (a non-Latin American theme or discipline), two three-hour seminars, and one two-hour introduction to graduate studies. In addition, they must be competent in at least one of the region's Iberian languages.

Enhanced Language Skills Option: To compliment the program's stress on both Spanish and Portuguese Latin America-and since over eighty percent of our students enter with competency in one of the two Iberian languages-the latter are urged to acquire competency in the other language by taking either second year Spanish or accelerated Portuguese. Upon passing a competency exam in the second Latin language, fifteen hours of credit toward the graduation requirement is given.
