MA in International Relations in Chicago United States | University of Chicago

The one-year MA program from the Committee of International Relations delivers a demanding curriculum exploring the political, security, economic, social, and cultural factors influencing global affairs. With an emphasis on intensive writing and reading, courses encourage innovative and analytical approaches to contemporary global issues. As an interdisciplinary initiative, CIR mandates distribution requirements to guarantee students gain comprehensive insight into international political and economic systems while allowing specialization in personal areas of interest. The program's two core seminars—focusing on international relations theory and political economy—not only establish a solid academic framework for further university studies but also create distinctive opportunities for students to participate in meaningful discussions with classmates.
