primary track courses and five secondary track courses. For information on
tracks, please visit http://isp.ucsd.edu. There are a total of thirteen track
courses (eight primary and five secondary) - three of the thirteen              
courses must concentrate on one country or region to complete the International 
Studies regional requirement. All track courses must be four-unit, upper-       
division, non-language courses, taken for a letter grade of C- or better.       
All courses for the IS major must be selected from the comprehensive course     
list located on our website at http://isp.ucsd.edu.                             
                                                                                
INTL 101 and INTL 102 are non-sequential (students may take them out of order)  
and are offered during different quarters throughout the academic year. It      
is recommended that students take these courses during their sophomore or       
early junior year.  Refer to the ISP website for INTL topics (vary by           
Professor) and scheduling information.  For language placement exams (to

requirement), please contact us for information.
