The Maxwell School offers three professional degrees: the master of public administration; the master of arts in international relations; and the M.P.A./M.A.-I.R., pursued as a joint degree.

And, for midcareer professionals, the Executive Education program offers a master of arts in economics, international relations, political science, or public administration.  

Maxwell is the only major school of public and international affairs in the country that places professional training in the context of all the social sciences. P.A. and I.R. exist alongside departments of history, anthropology, sociology, political science, and the like; and alongside major interdisciplinary research units such as the Center for Policy Research and the Global Affairs Institute. You will master the rigors of policy analysis and decision-making, integrating theoretical and practical knowledge into a truly broad understanding of the world of public affairs, both domestic and international. You will gain perspective. (To make it all more tangible, you have the option of earning a concurrent degree that includes an academic discipline.)

And that's just the beginning. Here are three more ways—immediate and practical ways—Maxwell is different: Personal attention, Facilities, and the Alumni Community.
