Tremendous forces of change are creating a growing need for professionals who can function effectively in the realm of international affairs. We invite you to prepare for your place in our increasingly interconnected and global society. Along the way, you'll discover your own niche, where you can have a meaningful career and improve the world.

As you work toward a Penn State master's degree in international affairs, you will undertake in-depth analyses of international economic, political, and scientific issues and the cultural, historical, and legal factors that shape them.

Your program will be interdisciplinary and flexible, and will draw upon the rich research, teaching, and scholarly expertise of internationally known faculty and the vast resources of one of the world's most distinguished research universities.

Penn State's School of International Affairs is designed as a modern and cosmopolitan community of students, faculty, scholars, and researchers, sharing the common goals of enhancing international understanding, knowledge, and discourse, as well as serving the public interest.

We are excited about our School of International Affairs — and we want to share this adventure with you.

Sincerely,
Tiyanjana Maluwa, Ph.D.
