ACADEMIC PROGRAMS The Center for Global Affairs, within NYU’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies, facilitates change by educating and inspiring our community to become global citizens capable of identifying and implementing solutions to pressing global challenges. We believe that the development of solutions to global problems must be informed by an understanding that the world’s challenges are not merely challenges for and among states, but challenges for and among states and non-state actors; urban and rural communities; regional organizations, as well as traditional diplomatic outlets. Through rigorous graduate and nondegree programs and public events we prepare global citizens who will be at home—and thus be effective agents of change— in all of these environments. Master of Science in Global Affairs The Master of Science in Global Affairs provides an indispensable context for understanding critical issues in international politics, economics, dispute settlement, law, human rights, energy, environment, and related areas. Knowledge and familiarity in these areas will prove critical to those preparing for careers in virtually every arena: international or non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the United Nations and its affiliated agencies, diplomatic missions, foreign offices, government agencies, international business, press and media, law firms, foundations, and a host of allied institutions and professions. Our courses offer a unique and pragmatic approach, placing the requisite academic theory of global affairs into a practical, real-world context. The program— which may be taken on a part-time or full-time basis— takes into account the knowledge and tools necessary to understand today’s complex interconnected society and to function effectively within it.
