There are three paths for studying non-Western courses (or courses with a strong non-Western base) at Huntington University. This may be achieved through:

  • Traditional fall/spring semester courses
  • Off-campus programs

Students who choose non-Western studies as an interdisciplinary minor will complete 22 hours of approved non-Western courses from:

  • Christian Thought and Practice 
  • English 
  • History and Political Science
  • Nursing 
  • Social Work
  • Sociology
  • TESOL Institute

Other credit may apply from January term courses, independent study, or off-campus coursework approved by the Centre director, who shall function as advisor to students who choose the non-Western studies minor.
