International Affairs 1 International Affairs Director: Barrett McCormick, Ph.D. Interdisciplinary Major in International Affairs (http://www.marquette.edu/inia) The major or minor offers interdisciplinary study of international affairs. Students take core courses in international politics and economics and, for the major, additional courses in history, languages, culture and other areas to complete one of the following concentrations based either on a theme or a region: Area Studies (Asian Studies, Developing Countries, European Studies, Latin American Studies, Middle East Studies), Cross-Cultural Studies, International Economic Relations, International Political-Military Relations, International Communication or Peace Studies. Students may also work with the director of INIA to design a concentration on a topic in which they are interested. By graduation, students gain a solid base of knowledge regarding international affairs and the ability to integrate the diverse perspectives of several disciplines to recognize subtle understandings of complex problems. For more information visit the Interdisciplinary Major/Minor in International Affairs website (http://www.marquette.edu/inia). International Affairs Major The major consists of ten courses (30 credit hours), including six courses (18 credit hours) for the INIA core, and four courses (12 credit hours) in a concentration.

International Affairs B.A./M.A. Accelerated Degree Program The Political Science Department offers a five-year B.A./M.A. in International Affairs. Students admitted to this program, may count a number of courses taken during their senior year toward both the B.A. and the M.A. degrees. This enables a student to complete both a B.A. and a M.A. in five years instead of the six that would normally be required. The M.A. programs in political science offer courses that can take a student far beyond the undergraduate level. Those who have completed our M.A. degree have gone on to some of the finest graduate schools, launched careers in a variety of government agencies and gained employment in various settings in the private sector.
International Affairs 9 Graduate courses in our program offer students the possibility to pursue topics of interest to them in more depth than they are able to in undergraduate classes. These courses couple smaller class sizes and more opportunities for participation with an emphasis on the refinement of student research skills. International Affairs Minor The minor consists of 6 courses (18 credit hours). In addition, students must fulfill the background requirements in economics and political science (12 cr. hrs.) for the minor.
