Admission Requirements

We will be admitting an inaugural class of students to the Master of International Affairs degree program for the fall semester 2008. These students will represent the highest-qualified candidates from a range of backgrounds and disciplines. They will come from all parts of the world and will have a broad range of interests. If you would like to be a part of this inaugural group and help shape the future of the School of International Affairs, we strongly encourage you to apply.

The Master of International Affairs program requires no specific undergraduate degree or course work. Admission will be based on a review of all submitted materials and spaces will be offered to the best of qualified applicants, taking into account academic achievement, relevant work experience, and other indices of aptitude for advanced study in international affairs.

To be considered for admission to the Master of International Affairs program, all applicants must have:
• a bachelor’s degree from a U.S. regionally accredited institution, or
• a postsecondary degree equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate earned from an
   officially recognized degree-granting international institution.

Students who wish to be considered for admission to the joint degree program undergo a different admissions process.  For more information about applying to the joint degree program and other details, please contact the Admissions Director.
