The M.A. in international relations equips students to create data-driven approaches for tackling global challenges. Through academic study and practical application, the curriculum readies graduates for impactful roles promoting societal benefit in diverse fields - from government bodies and nonprofits to NGOs and private enterprises. Grasping fundamental economic concepts forms a crucial component of an international affairs graduate's skillset. This requirement grows increasingly important as worldwide economic trends fuel nationalist movements and risk reviving trade barriers that worsened global tensions between world wars. In recent years, events like the financial crisis and technological automation have sparked serious debates about the effectiveness of economic strategies and global financial regulation.

This specialization explores economic interactions among nations. It also analyzes the motivations of private organizations and individuals in areas of global commerce, investment, and population movement, while investigating how technological progress and environmental concerns influence international disputes and collaboration.
