Magister Studiów Międzynarodowych (MIS)

The Master of International Studies (MIS) is a professional degree program that prepares students for exciting careers in government service, international institutions, and non-governmental organizations. An affiliate member of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs, the MIS program joins distinguished universities around the world in providing a global education for the 21st century.

The program combines a core curriculum with a 15-hour regional, topical, professional, or technical specialization. Upon graduation, most students move into jobs in government service, nonprofit management, student services in higher education (international students, study abroad), and the private sector.

The strength of the program is its diversity of faculty from many different disciplines and small class size. The richness of the student body from many countries around the world enhances this interaction. In addition, students may take courses at other universities in the area, including UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke, through inter-institutional registration.

Our college is home to critical thinkers and doers. We use interdisciplinary learning to bring unique perspectives and skills to industries around the world — and close to home.

Our diverse degree programs help students become skilled communicators who know how to ask questions, listen, and reason. Our alumni lead the charge of solving global problems. And our faculty are devoted educators and highly sought after thought leaders.

We’re a proud member of an NC State community that’s widely recognized for science, technology, engineering, and math. We strongly support advancing STEM skills. We also know that they alone can’t address the grand challenges of our time. The humanities and social sciences are essential to equipping communities with the knowledge that not only solves problems but also leads to productive and satisfying lives.
