This is accomplished through an integrated learning approach that relies on multi- and interdisciplinary courses grounded in political science, history, modern languages and economics/business. An emphasis on student-centered learning and flexibility of the curriculum—through a set of upper level major electives—provide an individualized orientation for studying International Relations.
