Examine how international, regional, and national elements shape interactions among global players. The International Relations bachelor's program offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that enables students to investigate how worldwide, regional, and local dynamics affect relationships between international actors. This program provides learners with analytical tools and expertise to evaluate decisions and obstacles in global affairs. Students in the IR program engage with global political studies through coursework in political science, economics, history, and foreign languages, concentrating on topics like global security, international economics, development studies, and political transitions. A mandatory study abroad component requires at least one academic term overseas. Graduates are well-prepared for government and corporate careers, as well as advanced studies in law, business, economics, and political science.
