International Politics Major Requirements
In the International Politics (IPOL) major, students learn how states and non-state actors compete and cooperate on political issues. In the post-Cold War world, there is no longer the stable hierarchy of issues that dominated policy makers' and scholars' attention from 1945 through the 1980s. Now, numerous non-security issues compete with security for the attention of policy makers, outside analysts, and citizens. The organization of the major addresses the principal building blocks of international politics today.
In order to satisfy the requirements for the BSFS degree, students must complete Quantitative Methods for International Politics (IPOL 320) and any 10 courses that have been approved for the International Politics major program. Students may select IPOL courses that focus upon subjects such as:
- International Law
- International Institutions
- Ethics & Human Rights
- Diplomacy & Statecraft
- International Security
- Trans-national Actors & Forces
- Diplomatic History
- International Political Economy
