Overview
Dr. David Baronov, Program Director
Mission
The mission of the graduate International Studies program is to prepare qualified students for careers and positions across a range of fields linked to global affairs through a course of study that instills a professional mastery of current and emerging global developments. The program examines contemporary patterns of globalization from a variety of historical, geopolitical, and socioeconomic perspectives that allow students to understand the meaning and impact of international trends and of national and regional developments within a global context.
Goals
- Provide students with an integrated course of graduate study in international studies that links and transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.
- Prepare students, in general, for careers in fields that require a master’s level of understanding of contemporary patterns of globalization and international affairs.
- Work with local stakeholders (such as government and non-government organizations and internationally oriented middle and high school educators) to maintain a program that provides an advanced understanding of global developments relevant to these fields.
