• The School of International Affairs (SIA) is designed to prepare students for occupations involving public service, private enterprise, nonprofit organizations, and international organizations worldwide.
  • The Master of International Affairs (M.I.A.) degree program will provide students with a substantial knowledge base in international systems, institutions, issues, and history, and the advanced analytical tools and cross-cultural skills and competencies necessary for these occupations.
  • Students will work closely with faculty to design a curriculum around their core course work, which incorporates a functional or regional theme and provides the opportunity to apply and enhance the core knowledge component with a thematically based set of graduate courses from across Penn State's existing graduate and professional curriculum.
