Can you envision yourself working in a field with a global perspective? Are you interested in interacting more effectively with persons from other cultures, particularly in professional settings?
The MA in international studies program is truly interdisciplinary and draws its strength from the cooperation of several departments in the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences and various professional schools and colleges. Each of the four core courses you will take features a different discipline (anthropology, geography, political science, global and multicultural discourse). You can choose from a range of concentrations in business, international public administration, Hispanic studies, public health, international education, security studies, economic development, or design your own.
The MA in international studies degree has a solid core of required courses and a great deal of flexibility in the design of its concentrations. The four-course concentrations allow you to acquire essential skills in a professional discipline, to pursue interdisciplinary study of a major international issue, and to enhance your knowledge of a world region. The international field experience gives you first-hand knowledge of another culture.
MA in international studies students come from across the United States and around the world. They represent many races and ethnicities. They also represent the full spectrum of political positions, religions, ideologies, ethnic groups, and life experience. This diversity contributes to the richness of life in the MA in international studies.
