The Department of International Affairs was formed in 2001 with the founding of the School of Public & International Affairs. The faculty was formerly part of the Political Science department, and we continue to bring a political science approach to the study of international relations and comparative politics. We currently have more than 30 faculty members who specialize in a wide array of topics, including international conflict, human rights, political institutions, extremism, political economy, and the environment. Many of our faculty have won prestigious research and teaching awards and serve in editorial positions at top peer-reviewed journals.
We offer a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Affairs, two master’s degrees (Master of International Policy and Master of Arts in Political Science and International Affairs), and a Ph.D. in Political Science and International Affairs.
