Undergraduate program in International Relations

The surge of global issues makes a major in International Relations increasingly attractive and relevant. Redefinitions of international relationships in the aftermath of the Cold War spur novel considerations in this field. At the same time, new approaches from several scholarly disciplines and cultural perspectives provide stimulating findings and methods to deal with international topics.

The major provides a set of core competencies in international relations. It also allows students to concentrate in one of two tracks, Social Science or Comparative Cultures. In both tracks, students will acquire sufficient breadth and depth in their study of international relations to make well-grounded comparisons between two or more regions of the world beyond the United States.

The International Relations major is offered jointly by the Departments of History, Modern Languages, and Social and Decision Sciences, and is currently available only as a second major, to be taken in conjunction with a disciplinary major in H&SS or another college.

For more information regarding curriculum requirements for the major minor, contact the faculty advisor or view the International Relations website.
