B.S./M.S. in International Affairs
Why B.S./M.S. in International Affairs?
“The biggest benefit of the B.S./M.S. in International Affairs is that I was able to carry over my research from my undergraduate to graduate career. Being at Georgia Tech, a leader in research, having this opportunity was really important, as research is my career trajectory.
“Fostering the connections I've already made is also really important to me. I've met amazing mentors who have aided me in my professional and academic career, and new people I would have missed if I had not been in the B.S./M.S. program.
"I really recommend it to students! There are tremendous advantages in continuing the connections you've made, exploring new aspects of Georgia Tech, and having that financial support.”
Program Details
The five-year B.S./M.S. in International Affairs allows you to take INTA 6202 Comparative Politics and INTA 6302 International Political Economy as an undergraduate, fulfilling the INTA 3110/3203 requirements. This drops the total credit hours required for the graduate degree from 42 hours to 36 hours.
Students are eligible to apply for the B.S./M.S. in International Affairs after completing 45 credit hours (three semesters) at Georgia Tech and remaining in good standing in the B.S. INTA, IAML, or EIA degree program.
Continuation requires maintaining a GPA of 3.5 or higher in the Ivan Allen College courses, and there is no penalty for opting out after completion of the bachelor’s degree.
