Transform your world

International relations (IR) majors are world travelers, innovators, researchers, problem-solvers and advocates.

• You will draw from knowledge across multiple studies to ask and analyze questions about power, law, economics, nationalism, culture, ethics and identity.
• Learn to speak different languages and reach across multiple human perspectives.
• Analyze complex issues like wealth or gender inequality, forced migration, climate change and the rise of authoritarianism.
• Consider how states, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and private actors interact on multiple levels of society to help identify and solve common problems.
• Push your comfort zone and, in so doing, develop a dynamic skill set that not only enables you to adapt to the changing world, but to shape it.
