Master of Arts in International Studies/ Juris Doctor

The MA in International Studies Degree equips students with the tools to engage a globally integrated environment, whether in the realm of diplomacy and Foreign Service, non-profit and non-governmental organizations, think-tanks, research institutes, or academia. With a focus on international politics, foreign policy, and policy analysis, the program also provides a rigorous foundation in global economics, global security, law and institutions, and area studies, and allows students to concentrate their coursework in one of these four sub-fields. The MAIS Program emphasizes a cohort model, whereby students admitted the same year take many of the same classes together, participating together in various group activities, projects, and assignments, most notably culminating in the Global Policy Workshop in the final semester.
