International Communications Minor
Recommended EA Programs for International Communication Minors
The following are Exchange programs made possible by a partnership between NAU and the host university. We send students there, they send students to us! On these programs, you pay your home tuition, and NAU Merit Scholarships (Blue, Gold, Dean’s, President’s, and Lumberjack) come with you! As an exchange student, you become deeply immersed in the culture of your host city and university. For ISEP programs, you will pay NAU tuition, housing and meal stipend in place of the international prices abroad.
A minor is earned in conjunction with a bachelor's degree. To receive a minor (18 to 24 units) at Northern Arizona University, you must complete a planned group of courses from one or more subject matter areas with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0. At least 12 units of the minor must be unique to that minor and not applied to any other minor. To participate in the international component of this minor, you must:
- Have earned at least sophomore status with a grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.5

- Meet the standards established by NAU's Center for International Education for participating in an international exchange plan
- Apply and be approved for admission to an international exchange plan sanctioned by NAU's School of Communication
