<p>I am interested in this program, but am not a great math and science person, is any one here involved that could tell me about it? I am interested in it as I think that the way technology influences ideas in the world is fascinating.</p>
<p>My son is in the International Affairs program and finds the structure they provide very useful. They walk you through the different options such as International Plan, Study Abroad, overseas internships, Summer Immersion, etc. You can become fluent in a language (s) and work for the State Department or companies overseas. The advisers will help you find internships, etc. You will have to obtain a BS degree as required by Georgia Tech, so you will have to take Calculus, Computer Science, and a science class like Chemistry, etc. Then you would take your language classes, international affairs classes, and classes for your minor. Good luck!</p>
<p>Just for clarification, you take Survey of Calculus, which is by no means the same as taking an engineering calculus course. Also, you take Media Studies for the computing requirement, which is not the same as taking Computer Science. You do have to take a lab science (Biology 1, Chemistry 1, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, or Physics 1), but that’s a pretty universal requirement for any degree at any university. </p>
<p>The degree requirement is here: [GT</a> Catalog : International Affairs : BS International Affairs](<a href=“http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/colleges/cola/inta/ugrad/inta/bsinta.php]GT”>http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/colleges/cola/inta/ugrad/inta/bsinta.php)</p>
<p>The reason it has things like “MATH 1501 CALCULUS I or MATH 1712 SURVEY OF CALCULUS” is to accommodate students that transfer to INTA from Engineering. If you have no interest in engineering or double majoring in a science, you would take Survey of Calculus and Finite Mathematics instead of Calculus 1 and 2.</p>
