The Master of Arts (MA) serves as the premier graduate program within the Studley Graduate Programs in International Affairs. Tailored for students pursuing careers in global affairs, this program combines theoretical knowledge, methodological training, policy studies, and specialized focus areas. The coursework highlights the historical context of modern social and political challenges, diverse analytical approaches to understanding international developments, and hands-on learning to enhance professional competencies.
The International Affairs MA's specialization tracks go beyond standard course groupings. They represent focused domains where students can connect academic theories, empirical research, and real-world application to prepare for careers as either scholars or professionals in global affairs. To complete a concentration, students take an introductory course plus three electives selected from various offerings. These specializations also serve as hubs for guest speaker series, skill-building workshops, networking events, and student-led discussion groups on topics of particular relevance.
