International Affairs is the comprehensive study of global issues of importance in the contemporary world. The focus in this field is on topics such as war and peace, globalization and economic development, as well as domestic and international politics and economics. The major is divided into two subfields: comparative politics and international relations. Comparative politics is the study of domestic politics in developed and developing countries and the different ways that countries deal with global issues. International relations studies how countries relate and interact with one another, as well as with multinational entities, as they deal with global issues. International affairs, a liberal arts major, prepares students for a variety of careers. Most importantly, it prepares students to be both better citizens and competitive in an age of globalization. The major will give students a broad understanding of domestic and international affairs and preparation for careers in both the private and public sector. International Affairs majors move on to careers in many areas of international business and development, public and international service, and in specific fields like the foreign service, military intelligence and homeland or international security. A major in international affairs is also an excellent step on the way to advanced study in law school or graduate school in public and international affairs and/or political science. Overall, the Department of International Affairs desires to prepare its students for the widest variety of personal and professional opportunities existing in the 21st century
