New UMaine Farmington BA International and Global Studies program on the YP app

Weird course choices.....

These types of courses are pretty normal for any degree in “International” anything. Reminds me a lot of the course selection I had for my International Affairs degree

Tbf, at first I thought the course choices I had for that degree were strange, too

Global Studies, maybe, but most International Relations/Affairs align with a less holistic and sociocultural approach and more political science-based (think FSO/FAO or diplomat-focused).

I know its a small school so they probably just threw some electives together and called it good.

It's not an International Relations/Affairs degree. Relations/Affairs is nowhere in the title. It is a "Studies" degree.

Okay... It's intentionally vague to allude to International Affairs/Relations.

Using Global and International in the same degree title is absurdly redundant if international affairs is not in the proposed content of the program.

I agree that they should choose one or the other. It is serendipitous for me however perusing through their pages time-to-time and seeing more programs open up for students. I'm quite content with UMPI's growth both in student body via YourPace and the amount of degrees being offered.
