This area of emphasis is designed primarily for students with broad interests in international politics and,
as such, career aspirations ranging from diplomacy (e.g,. the foreign service or international organizations),
the analysis of contemporary conflicts within the policy community, and/or academia with a specialization in international
relations. Required courses include two courses in policy analysis (research design and statistics) and two courses
in international political analysis (the "politics of war and peace" and political geography). Students
