Program Overview

The Master of Science in Global Studies and International Relations is an interdisciplinary degree that will prepare you to meet the challenges of globalization. Classes focus on the work you would do in the field such as analyzing the investment portfolios of developing nations, managing crises, and crafting speeches for embassy officials. You'll narrow your study to one of five concentrations and choose one of six major world regions as your focus, working with our distinguished faculty of policymakers, diplomats, and global educators as you prepare to step onto the world stage. Participate in the Diplomacy Lab and explore real-world challenges while contributing to the policy-making process in conjunction with the U.S. State Department.  If you choose our optional International Field Study Experience, you'll serve abroad as a consultant for a global organization as it works to solve a real-world business challenge.

    • Students who register within the first week of registration opening could qualify for a generous $1,000 scholarship.
    • We kindly request that you reach out to admitted students to ensure they are aware of this opportunity. This initiative applies to all colleges and programs, including Master's, Graduate Certificate, Bachelor's Completion, Undergrad Certificate, and Professional Doctorate programs. This initiative is applicable from June 6th to June 30th, 2024. Additionally, students who enrolled after May 20th and have not yet registered are also eligible to participate.+

    Winter/Spring (January) 2025 Scholarship Update

    • All scholarships are applicable to Masters and Grad Certs only
    •  The 5% Global Learner Award is added to student records at time of application submission
    • The 2% + Free Grad Learning Enrichment Badge will be applied after add/drop date
    • The 15-20% January 2025 Tuition Scholarships (Seattle, Silicon Valley, Oakland only) are added in Slate after the student has been admitted but before their award letter has been released
