    4. Question: Can students declare a certificate in the same area of concentration selected for their International Studies Major? - The Committee members determined that a general policy is not needed at this time. They expressed the view that students should be able to receive any academic credential for which they complete all requirements, even if the courses overlap to a large extent. It was suggested that International Studies and the certificate programs might wish to consider the possibility of adding a restriction on the number of credits that can overlap. This decision should be left to the individual programs.
