Welcome to the International Affairs
Program home page!
Due to the growing interdependence of all
nations, the United States has seen an expansion of employment
opportunities in government and international organizations,
agencies, and businesses. Today there is a need for college
graduates with a strong background in international affairs.
The University of Colorado offers a comprehensive and
flexible interdisciplinary program in international affairs
leading to the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. Our major
requirements include courses from the Political Science,
Economics, History, Anthropology, and Geography departments.
In addition, through your area of geographic concentration,
you will become well acquainted with at least one selected
region of the world outside of the United States and attain
proficiency in the language of that region, as well as familiarity
with its cultural and political activities. Regions of concentration
include: Africa, Asia, Post Communist Eurasia,
Europe, Latin America,
and the Middle East.
The program also offers an internship
class and an honors program,
as well as an International Media
Certificate with the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
As an International Affairs major, you will begin your
studies with a survey of the most compelling global issues
of the day and then go on to detailed analysis of international
relations and economics. Courses also focus on problems
of international development, the environment, international
economic relations and United States foreign policy.
As the curriculum progresses, you will analyze the effects
of international trade, investment, world population, and
the use of resources. In addition, you may choose elective
courses that apply the theories of conflict behavior and
social organization to the problems of war and peace. Because
geographic boundaries have an important influence on the
political activities of a country, the program includes
a systematic study of power and strategic concepts.
