Contents
The Global MA in International Relations Program allows you to earn a Master of Arts in International Relations by completing the curriculum requirements serially at five different Webster campuses. As a graduate program, it demands considerably more commitment and a higher level of academic performance than an undergraduate program. We do understand that students choose this program in part because of the opportunity to learn about international relations in a cross-cultural environment, and that means experiencing cultures, not just spending most of your time in the library or classroom. In part, the professional seminar experience provides a way for students to get inside international relations and not just study the subject in books. There should be time for tourism, relaxation and just plain fun. However, students must understand that a respected graduate program requires rigor on our part, discipline on theirs.
Students enrolled in this program follow a set schedule of courses as part of the Global Masters of Arts in International Relations.
