International Affairs Minor
https://cola.unh.edu/international-affairs/program/minor/international-affairs
The international affairs (IA) minor adds a recognized distinction and global context to any primary major in any college at UNH. It was developed for those students who, due to the demands of their primary majors, are unable to complete the more rigorous requirements of the IA dual major.
Students who wish to declare the international affairs minor must earn a C or better in all IA course requirements and have a 2.5 cumulative grade-point average. The minor is declared when the fifth course is being taken. The student should obtain the minor completion form from the IA senior program assistant.
