Gain a unique perspective on the international system
Unique Curriculum
The Diplomacy curriculum is divided into three core seminars and the three seminars that comprise the concentration area of your choice.
The Core Curriculum provides a systematic overview of the historical and current theories, and the contending explanatory paradigms of the international system. It explores terminology, history and theories surrounding International Law (including such topics as Environmental Law and Humanitarian Intervention), as well as the World System, Modernization, and Globalization Paradigms in relation to the International Economic Political System.
The International Commerce concentration focuses on the role of private-sector commerce in the international system by examining internal and external environmental conditions when conducting commerce in a global environment. You explore the impact of economics, law, politics, and culture on multinational commerce endeavors to increase your understanding of the global commerce environment and thereby enhancing your ability to function effectively across borders.
International Terrorism examines the growing threat of terrorism in the international community. The need to explore this threat is obvious. But the complexity of this threat is not so obvious, and is in need of examination by those that are attempting to combat it. The concentration focuses on two major aspects of terrorism, state sponsored and non-state sponsored terrorism and then explores the international community's response to this global threat.
The International Conflict Management curriculum is oriented toward avoidance, management and mitigation of conflict in this increasingly conflict-oriented world and is designed for civilian and military professionals who must apply a broad range of skills in diplomacy, conflict resolution or management, and post-conflict nation building.
Academic ExcellenceWithin the rigorous academic environment, you acquire the theoretical understanding of your concentration area, congruent with a master's level of education, but also gain the tools and skills needed to communicate fluently in today's complex international environment.
