Overview

Throughout the International Relations (International Politics and Policy) BA programme from the Liberty University you will also study political geography and theory.

Our specialization in international politics and policy will expand upon your international relations training and knowledge by focusing on pressing issues in the international community today, such as the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.

Throughout this degree programme, you will study the history of American foreign economic policy and the effects it has had on the world. We will tie some of these topics together in a study of international law and how it pertains to human rights, international monetary policy, and a host of other topics. As Senator J. William Fulbright once said, “Law is the essential foundation of stability and order, both within societies and in international relations.” You’ll be equipped with the knowledge you need to be successful in any career you pursue.
