International Affairs Pathway

If you follow the International Affairs Pathway, you will take courses from across the curriculum that shed light on global issues and challenges and that add to your knowledge about key international institutions, events and processes. As you undertake theoretical work on international affairs, you also will develop policy-oriented skills such as writing and communication.

You’ll be able to complement your overarching global learning with courses that allow you to explore your interest in particular regions of the world or in particular global issues, such as the international dimensions of climate change and the environment; development; human rights; conflict resolution; global health; international and national security; and global governance. The pathway supports students interested in careers in international organizations, governmental positions, nonprofit organizations and think tanks, as well as activism and research positions that focus on global affairs.
