B.S. International Affairs Declaration Form

This form is for current Elliott School students only; students who are not in the Elliott School and declaring this as a second major must use the "Second Major in B.S. In International Affairs" form which can be found on the Elliott School advising website.

The B.S. in International Affairs program requires students to complete the Introduction to the Major, Supporting Courses in the Liberal Arts, Third Year Proficiency in a Modern Language and the Advanced Fundamentals and Regional Foundations requirements. In addition, B.S. students must complete 6 Advanced STEM field courses, and then choose to complete a Concentration OR a second major.
