International Relations provides students with the tools and the knowledge necessary to understand and navigate the interconnectivity of the modern world. It challenges students to broaden their perspectives and their understanding of the forces shaping global politics. Students who major in International Relations will complete course work in specific international themed courses while focusing on one or two particular areas of the world.

Some of our students have gone on to work for the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. Another is presently studying in Japan and plans to graduate work in the politics of Japan. Other students have gone on to careers in journalism. A focus in International Relations can be useful in a number of subject areas, such as governmental and non-governmental organizations, international business, and humanitarian work.
