Area-Studies Certificates
Students can earn area-studies certificates (African Studies, Global Studies, Asian Studies, Latin American Studies, Russian and Eastern European Studies, and West European Studies) by completing a prescribed course of study that includes language courses and courses about the societies and cultures of an area. Many of the courses approved for the area-studies certificates also fulfill general-education requirements, making an area-studies certificate an achievable goal for CBA students. CBA students interested in earning an area studies certificate should first discuss the feasibility of doing so with their CBA academic advisor and then consult directly with the appropriate University Center for International Studies (UCIS) program/center for detailed information about earning the certificate: http://www.ucis.pitt.edu/main/students.html.
