Although much of this work is naturally drawn from the field of Political Science, the program also includes courses and programs offered by professors in the departments of History, Economics and Sociology. In doing so, we emphasize the importance of interdisciniplanary study in understanding the field of international affairs. Within this framework, students may pursue a more focused study in regional politics; international economics; diplomacy and foreign policy; or security and human rights. All students are required to take six core courses that include International Relations Theory, Seminar in International Politics, International Law, International Organization, International Political Economy, and Research Methods. Beyond that, they take four additional courses, either in a chosen area of consentration or electives covering such topics as Democratization and Statebuilding. In addition to the formal coursework, all students write a 75 page Master's Thesis on a topic of their choice. This topic is usually within their area of specialty and is developed in consultation with their faculty advisor.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor's  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $360  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $3680  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
