International Relations (Global MA)

The global master of arts (GMA) in international relations is designed to develop and deepen student expertise in world politics and international affairs. The intensive, one-year program integrates the study of politics and policy through a rigorous and applied curriculum focused on the intersections of international affairs, such as international political economy, international organizations, and human rights. The structure of the GMA in international relations, which includes a four-country, immersive curriculum, provides students with the competence to analyze and develop expertise in complex issues such as terrorism, economic development, transnational migration, and political transitions and exposes students to the decision-makers and organizations tasked with responding to the issues. Students develop broad expertise in international relations and gain practical experience by interacting with policy professionals in each country. This program is ideal for current international affairs professionals and those seeking work with a governmental agency, an international organization, a nongovernmental organization, or a multinational corporation. This program is also recommended to students who would like to pursue an academic career.

As a private, non-profit institution, Webster University's goal is to curate relevant programs for our students while upholding the highest academic standards.
