The Bachelor of Science in International Affairs (INTA) is an interdisciplinary degree program designed to provide students with the skillset they will need to engage in strategic planning and analysis in an interdependent and multicultural world.
The INTA curriculum gives students the flexibility to build the program based on their post-graduation plan. Students can use the 21 international affairs elective hours to concentrate in Global Development; International Security; or International Affairs, Science, and Technology, among other areas of focus. With a concentration, we want students to leave the program empowered to tackle some of the world's most important challenges. Students should consult with the INTA advisor on their interests and concentration options.
The program requires an introductory careers course and a senior capstone project in international relations. Cluster electives allow for a minor or certificate specialization in a relevant discipline.

Degree Benefits
Research-Based Courses
The program requires an introductory career course to get students thinking about employment opportunities in international affairs.
At the end of their studies, students will take a senior qualitative/quantitative research capstone to apply the knowledge gained in their studies.
Non-Major Cluster Electives
Students can use their non-major cluster electives to obtain a minor or certificate in an area of interest. A minor or certificate helps graduates stand out by signaling to employers or grad schools that they have specialized knowledge in a particular subject outside of their major.
