International Relations and Diplomacy

Gain a Global Perspective on Work and Life

Interdependence is the new way of the world. More than ever before, nations rely on one another for economic success, military protection and ecological survival. This means that governments and corporations in the U.S. and abroad increasingly need professionals who can cross cultural boundaries. Our graduates serve—internationally and domestically—in a wide range of organizations and agencies in both the public and private sectors, including the U.S. State Department, the World Bank, CARE, the Peace Corps, and the Commission for Environmental Cooperation. They’ve learned to make evidence-based decisions, to act thoughtfully as citizens, and to participate productively in the global economy.

Never in my whole life could I have imagined stepping into the U.S. Capitol Building, walking the halls, speaking with representatives, and taking in the advice they had to give us. I makes me feel so proud of where I am now and where I want to go next.”
