International Relations - Agnes Scott College

International Relations from Agnes Scott College is a Campus Bachelor International Relations degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. International relations is a study of global affairs that draws upon the connections of economics, politics and history. It applies the contributions of all these disciplines to the study of topics of historical and contemporary importance. Students will examine traditional studies that focus on the role of the nation-state. In addition, they will explore more contemporary insights into the influence of other global factors, such as transnational corporations, diasporas and international organizations whose work spans the globe. What will I study? In addition to introductory and upper-level courses in political science and economics, students choose to focus on a particular geographic area in their studies—Europe and Russia, Africa, Asia or Latin America—and they are required to take an additional course beyond the intermediate level in a foreign language. Quite often the College offers Global Awareness and Global Connections courses that allow students to refine further their understanding of a particular area of the world, or hone their language skills (recent Global Awareness trips went to Japan, Ghana and China, for example). Students also have the opportunity to participate in semester-long and yearlong study abroad programs. The capstone of the international relations major’s work is the International Relations Senior Seminar, taken in the senior year. The topic changes yearly according to student and instructor interests. View more details on Agnes Scott College .
