Bachelor of Arts (BA) in International Relations

Course Description

International Relations scholars ask questions such as: How do states manage their coexistence? What factors impact human migration? Can multinational corporations undermine political stability? International Relations studies cross-border interactions between various groups to understand how such interactions affect people, states, regions, and the global community. This program will give you a solid foundation in the economic, political, and socio-historical interactions between nations. During the course of your studies, you'll gain statistical analysis skills, research capabilities, written and verbal communication skills, and competence in a second language (other than English).
