Description
Return to: Academic Programs Raslan Ibrahim, Coordinator Faculty: Interdepartmental advisory committee representing the departments of Anthropology, Communications, Economics, Global Languages and Cultures, Geography and Sustainability Studies, History, Management, Political Science and International Relations, and Sociology. Program Learning Outcomes Students in International Relations should possess an understanding of the principles, the actors (state and non-state), structures and processes in the international system. Students should demonstrate a familiarity with the key political, economic, social, and cultural-religious features of various political systems (western and non-western), particularly as they inform the roles and policies of international actors. Students will acquire a basic understanding of economics, particularly as it affects issues in international relations, and an acquaintance with the historical development and key themes in US foreign policy are also essential. Students are expected to develop expertise in one of the major subfields of international relations: political economy, security studies, development, and regional processes. Upon completion of the major, students should be able to critically analyze contemporary international relations, applying theoretical perspectives to substantive policy issues.
