General Program

At Uppsala University, CSU IP students focus on taking courses from the areas of humanities and the social sciences. This program is ideally suited for students who are doing interdisciplinary undergraduate majors, are double majors, or are completing a major and minor in any of the following areas: Anthropology, English, History, International Relations, Languages/Linguistics, Liberal Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, Political Science and Religious Studies.

Students are fully integrated into Uppsala’s academic programs and take courses taught in English. Typically, students focus on two or three disciplines in order to meet the CSU IP requirement of taking 15 units per semester. Students may not be able to take courses from just one discipline due to course availability and scheduling of classes and must be flexible with course selection. Students are required to take one course in Swedish language, choosing either an intensive Swedish language course in August or a regular semester course during the fall.
