COURSES FALL 2022
All International and Public Affairs concentrators take a common core of classes. This includes the choice of a “gateway” lecture course that examines broad global themes and provides an introduction to multidisciplinary analysis; one qualitative and one quantitative research methods course (language study at the 0400 level or above can substitute for one of the methods courses); a junior seminar; and a capstone.
In addition to taking these core classes, students choose one of three tracks of specialization:
- Development
- Policy & Governance
- Security
Students take 5 elective courses in their specialization track.
This is a tentative list and subject to change.
- Retroactive approval of track elective courses is permitted only in extenuating circumstances and requires approval from the Faculty Concentration Advising Committee.
- Gateway and foundational courses cannot be substituted with other courses offered through IAPA or through other concentration.
- IAPA core courses (gateway, track foundational, junior seminars, and senior seminars) do not satisfy elective requirements.
- Junior and senior seminars are not interchangeable.
