M.S. 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, the environment, and related areas. Knowledge and familiarity in these areas is critical
for those preparing for careers in virtually every arena: international or nongovernmental
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 completed on
a part-time or full-time basis, takes into account the knowledge and the tools necessary to
understand today’s complex interconnected society and to function effectively within it.
