<p>There’s only one real “international studies course”, the intro to international studies… besides that, the rest are actually in other departments (ie. political science, or economics, or history, etc)
But I’m guessing what ilk07 means is to take courses that will count for the major:
[Major</a> - International Studies Program - Boston College](<a href=“http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/isp/program_of_study/major.html]Major”>http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/isp/program_of_study/major.html)
so probably (not not limited to) micro/macroeconomics, history, or fundamentals of politics for your freshman year.</p>
