Description

Students enjoy the advantages of small classes and close communications with their faculty and enthusiastic colleagues that make our classrooms "living textbooks." This interaction helps with the very important thesis writing requirement where students develop, communicate and defend their own original thoughts in their area of specialization. Students are encouraged to read extensively, think deeply, discuss their ideas openly, and be highly aware of the practical policy applications of their work.

Highlights

In the program, students may choose from two concentrations: an MA in International Relations or an MA in International Peace Studies.

For the MA in International Relations, we emphasize the study of comprehensive and interdisciplinary world trends with a special emphasis on the Asia Pacific region, and Japan in particular. The Islamic world also receives considerable attention. The program is constructed to allow students the maximum freedom to pursue their own interests within the limits of the specializations offered by the IUJ faculty.

The MA in International Peace Studies track focuses on how peace and security may be created in conflict areas. It examines methods of conflict resolution and peace building which focus on development strategies that lead to stability. A clear link is made between peace, security and economic development.
