Our world is increasingly globalized, and more professionals need an understanding of the broader world to stay competitive. You'll learn why some countries thrive while others fail. You'll study the history of human rights and work on the puzzles of economic development among the poorest countries on the planet. You'll also have the opportunity to intern in government, at think tanks, and in non-profit agencies in the Twin Cities and abroad.

A degree in international relations prepares students for a variety of careers. Our graduates have become:

• Foreign Service officers with the State Department
• Business associates at companies like Target and Cargill
• Teachers in the United States and abroad

Graduates have also found jobs at non-profit organizations, doing work as diverse as helping refugees settle in the United States to helping end human trafficking networks in India.?
