Undergraduate Foundation Program WSU’s Undergraduate Foundation program provides additional academic and/or English language support and personalized advising to help students smoothly transition to full university study. Students are unconditionally admitted to the university and graduate in the same amount of time as direct-entry students – they are just provided with additional support courses. Bachelor of Arts - Humanities - International Area Studies The international area studies major is for students who have interests that are both international and interdisciplinary and who wish to play a major role in forming their own curriculum. This course of study leads to a bachelor of arts in humanities with an international area studies focus. Students in this program devise their own program of study in collaboration with the program coordinator and a designated advisor who is a specialist in the student's area of interest. There are four programs within the area studies: European, French/Francophone, Germanic, and Latin American.
