M.S. in International Affairs, Science, and Technology

The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs offers a single-year, 30-credit hours Master of Science in International Affairs, Science, and Technology (MS IAST). The MS IAST program offers students the conceptual foundations and practical policy analysis of issues at the intersection of international politics, science, and technology. With increasing concerns about a globalizing international environment and the ability to address emerging technological and political challenges, this master’s degree is timely.

Students will be exposed to issues related to energy, the environment, information and communication technologies, space policy, disruptive technologies, intelligence, arms control, and other contemporary issues. These substantive areas reflect ongoing, evolving, and emerging technological trends currently facing policy makers, technologists, innovators, analysts, non-governmental organizations, the military, local populations, and other relevant actors.
