Migration and Displacement Studies Correlate Sequence

The correlate requires six units of student work:

• INTL 109 A Lexicon of Forced Migration  
• Four units from a selection of approved courses, chosen in consultation with the student’s correlate sequence advisor, of which no more than one unit should be at the 100-level. At least one of these four courses should be community engaged, away from Vassar’s campus (international or not) if at all feasible.
• One unit at the 300-level to be proposed by the student in consultation with their Correlate Sequence Adviser, in which the student produces a capstone project.
