Overview

Courses explore both theoretical and practical aspects of politics and the processes by which policies, rules, and political cultures are contested and established.

The purposes of the International Relations major are threefold: (1) to understand the major analytical perspectives and key concepts used by scholars to study international relations; (2) to use the theoretical literature to analyze global issues and problems; and (3) to engage in a discussion of the complex issues and developments that drive and define contemporary global politics.

What will you do?

Within the context of a liberal arts college, the program gives special attention to preparing students for careers in government, politics, public interest organizations, law, and journalism, as well as providing training useful for those wishing to pursue graduate or professional degrees. Certification for teaching social studies in the secondary schools may be based on a major in political science or international relations. International relations at Goucher College seeks to sensitize students to the role of the active citizen who is responsibly assertive in the community.
