Students who study international affairs develop understanding about contemporary global issues as well as in-depth knowledge of a chosen region or policy issue. Programs may focus on the diplomacy, culture and economics of a particular country or in a general sense.

There are a few potential benefits to looking into a graduate pathway for students who know they want more than a simple bachelor’s degree. One example is that this choice may help the student specialize and prepare for advanced courses.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
