International Relations

Department of International Relations and Governance Studies

The Minor in International Relations introduces students to the study of states, institutions and the international system, and to the theoretical traditions through which that system is interpreted. Two mandatory core courses establish the field, and students then choose from the Department's major elective basket. The minor suits students who want to situate their own discipline within a global political frame.
