Career Tracks
MAS-IA Students choose one of three career tracks prior to beginning study: International Political Economy, International Public Policy, and International Security.
Students are required to take seven elective courses to complete their career track requirements; three within the chosen career track, and four additional selections from any of the courses offered at IR/PS.
