International Relations (MA)

New York University Graduate School of Arts and Science 16 courses

About This Program

Since 1886, NYU's Graduate School of Arts and Science (GSAS) has prepared generations of global leaders. The MA in International Relations (MAIR) continues that tradition, training MAIR candidates for careers in the field of international affairs with a rigorous curriculum rooted in world-class scholarship. Our graduate program approaches International Relations as a subject that can be studied from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, using various methodologies. Drawing on scholars from across GSAS, as well as colleagues at the Law School, the Stern School of Business, and the Wagner School of Public Service, MAIR candidates have a range of academic options to shape their degree and career trajectory. Moreover, the Program strives to offer events on various topics with scholars, practitioners, and students to create an academic and professional dialogue within the field. The International Relations Department offers a dual degree with the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service: International Development Policy and Management Specialization MPA/International Relations MA. See International Relations for admission requirements and instructions specific to this program.
