Therefore, it is important to learn how our connections can be used for good as well as how to handle the bad. With a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations, you can work to bring the world together. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower once said, “The world must learn to work together, or finally it will not work at all.” With a degree in international relations, you can pursue a career in politics, government agencies, intelligence, or diplomacy as you study the relationships among countries, peoples, and comparative governments. This degree will allow you to acquire an understanding of the intellectual philosophies that have shaped the modern world and can help unlock doors that will give you the chance to affect it.

We offer two different international relations specializations, each with its own area of focus. Our International Politics and Policy degree focuses more on the political aspect, both in the U.S. and abroad. Our Strategic Intelligence Studies track focuses more on intelligence and studying the methodologies, uses and even ethics of intelligence.
