It also opens the way to a variety of careers, in government, international organizations, law, business and non-profit institutions, and academia. |

This broad approach enables you to design your own program around your individual academic interests and career aspirations. Working with Professor Francine D'Amico, Director of Undergraduate Studies, and the IR Staff, you choose from a variety of topical approaches to the subject, political, economic, or intercultural, and concentrate on a geographic region of particular interest. You are urged to take advantage of the study abroad opportunities offered by the Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA) and the Maxwell-Washington International Relations Semester, and to participate in the frequent lectures and other events which take place on campus.
