Concentrations within the MA in International Affairs program enable students to link theory, social research, and practice in building careers as scholars or practitioners in international affairs. The concentrations also offer a range of opportunities for applied research as well as connections to the practice curriculum. In addition, the concentrations sponsor invited guest lectures, organize workshops and events, and create working groups around topics of particular interest to students.
Students fulfill the concentration requirement by taking the foundation course as well as three concentration electives in their chosen area.
