In response to the demand, universities around the country have established professional schools or master degree programs that encompass a broad field of international issues, but also explore them in depth that an undergraduate liberal arts program cannot always accommodate. Graduate education does not have to stop or start with a master's degree in international relations. Combinations of professional programs, whether law or business, for example, or in the field of science and technology, can be created with relative ease at most schools to meet the unique interests of the student.
The following is a small selection of professional schools and graduate programs that offer degrees in international relations or the practice of foreign policy. Contact admissions offers at the respective schools or e-mail us at colead@afsa.org for further information.
