B.S., Diplomacy and International Relations

The undergraduate program is based on an interdisciplinary global studies curriculum with strong components of cultural understanding, international economics and leadership. Students develop proficiency in at least one foreign language and complete a professional internship in order to gain an understanding of career opportunities available to them upon graduation. Furthermore, students are encouraged to take advantage of the Whitehead School's international study seminars or participate in Model UN and other activities related to the United Nations.
 
To attain the degree of Bachelor of Science in Diplomacy and International Relations, students must complete the program total of 120 credits. While each student is guided by a faculty advisor of the School, the ultimate responsibility for complying with curriculum requirements rests with the student. To complete degree requirements satisfactorily, students must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Transfer students should obtain academic advisement from Associate Dean Dr. Ursula Sanjamino.

Students may apply for admission to the combined B.S./M.A. in Diplomacy and International Relations program in the fall of their junior year. Accepted students proceed to take a combination of undergraduate and graduate courses beginning the summer after their junior year in order to complete the master's degree.
