Notes

Students may take other courses or internships with Pacific content, subject to the approval of the Pacific Islands Studies faculty.
Students may take discipline-based directed study from a participating Pacific Islands Studies faculty member. Discipline-based courses relating to Pacific Islands topics allow students to focus research papers on the Pacific and may be approved for credit toward the certificate by a vote of participating faculty.
Other appropriate courses may be included from time to time.
