A website that provides information for people seeking careers in the international relations fields ranks MTSU’s master’s program one of the best.

InternationalRelationsEDU.org has declared MTSU’s Master of Arts in International Relations program one of the top programs of its kind in the country. The website states that its selection criteria include the overall quality of the school, the diversity of its programs, the school’s contribution to research and outreach and joint or dual degree options.

Housed in the Department of Political Science and International Relations, the Master of Arts in International Relations degree track offers a choice of concentrations in either international security and peace studies or international development and globalization.

The program prepares graduates for a variety of careers, including, but not limited to diplomat, environmentalist, human rights advocate, foreign policy adviser, linguist, relief agency director and international trade compliance analyst.

“Our MAIA students have the benefit of small classes and a faculty devoted to their intellectual and professional development,” said Michael Federici, chair of the Department of Political Science and International Relations. “The award is an indication that our program is recognized outside the state as the first place students should turn for graduate education in international affairs.”

The Department of Political Science and International Affairs is part of the MTSU College of Liberal Arts, which offers more than 20 majors.
