Sigma Iota Rho,
the national honor society in International Relations, was established
in 1985 and Mount Holyoke College was designated as one of its founding
Chapters. Since its inception, the Society has tried to recognize
excellence in the study of International Relations and established
quite rigorous criteria for membership. Mount Holyoke College is
proud to have regularly graduated a number of students who meet
these criteria.
The criteria for membership are as follows:
1. Students must have junior standing
with a minimum of sixteen (16) credits in the International Relations
major. The major requires courses in modern history, international
economics, world politics, and political geography.
2. Students must have a cumulative
grade-point average of 3.4 and an average of 3.6 in the International
Relations major.
Students must demonstrate a proficiency in a modern foreign language.
3. Students should express genuine
concern and interest in world issues through participation in activities
related to the field of international relations.
4. Any individual of outstanding ability
and achievement in the field of international relations may be elected
as an honorary member. A maximum of two (2) such members from each
class shall be elected each year.
