Grant Overview

The purpose of this two-year project is to strengthen and improve instruction in International Studies and the study of foreign languages at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) through curriculum development and faculty enrichment. This project is the essential next step to fulfill the interdisciplinary promise of the International Studies major which was inaugurated in September 2001. Interest in International Studies at TCNJ is substantial; in a successful first year of operation, more than thirty students chose the major. It builds on this local interest and strengthens the interdisciplinary nature of the International Studies curriculum. Its foci, Caribbean Basin Studies and International Political Economy, concern two of the major's concentrations: Latin American Studies and International Economics and Trade. They are also key aspects of the current African-American Studies minor and the proposed major in that field. This project will build bridges across disciplines as a result of the curriculum development and faculty enrichment which are at its heart.
