International & Area Studies Academic Program • University of California, Berkeley . PleaseIAS has strategically adopted an interdisciplinary approach to such training, with the belief that no single discipline can prepare students with the depth and breadth necessary for a complex and reflexive understanding of world history and contemporary globalization. Accordingly, IAS offers interdisciplinary core courses in fields such as political economy, development studies, and peace & conflict studies, and then incorporates courses offered through many other departments, offering students a rigorous, but flexible, curriculum which recognizes that learning takes place both inside and outside the classroom. NOTE: The following majors and minors have been retired: Asian Studies Development Studies Middle Eastern Studies – Major and Minor Latin American Studies Peace and Conflict Studies – Major and Minor Applications to these majors and minors are no longer being accepted.

And if that’s not enough, the dynamic and curious students along with brilliant professors and mentors offer a never-ending opportunity to challenge yourself, learn and grow.” Toby Frankenstein, Class of 2006 Resources Alumni Resources Faculty Resources Student Resources GSI & Reader Resources Events Commencement 2020 People Faculty Staff Leadership Degree Programs Major Programs Minor Programs Graduate Programs Global Studies #pageLocation (Map) 101 Stephens Hall University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720-2306 Program Office Hours Mon-Thu: 10:00am–12:00pm & 1:00pm–4:00pm Fri: 10:00am-12:00pm Summer Hours: Mon-Thur: 10:00am-12:00pm & 1:00pm-4:00pm Fri: No advising Contact IAS Tel: (510) 642-4466 Fax: (510) 642-9850 Copyright © 2020 UC Regents; all rights...
