Gain a broad understanding of global affairs through coursework in core subjects, such as international development, global business and economy, international relations, and political science. You’ll also develop a deeper focus in your area of study, through an Area of Specialization or a Capstone project. And you’ll gain practical experience in the field through a required internship or our Global Field Intensives.
You’ll also be able to take advantage of our extensive study abroad and exchange programs, as well as a range of other experiential learning opportunities, such as consulting projects with local and international partners in the private, public and nonprofit sectors. You’ll be surrounded by a close-knit community of like-minded students and faculty, as you take your place on the cutting edge of graduate education in the field of global affairs.
The field of global affairs is as diverse and challenging as the problems it addresses. Our unique multidisciplinary approach gives you the tools to understand and address the challenges of our increasingly globalized world. You’ll become fluent in the approaches and frameworks of multiple disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, and you’ll learn to bridge the gap between scholarship and practice.
