Description

The world faces increasingly complex problems that have taken on global significance, including conflict and peace-building, humanitarian crises and intervention, international economic inequality and instability, and global environmental change.

Learn to address these problems through an interdisciplinary approach with the Master of Arts in Global Governance program. 

The program goes beyond the rigidities and formalities of established academic boundaries by drawing on a variety of disciplines, including economics, politics, history, sociology and environmental studies. Designed to be completed in sixteen months of full-time study, you’ll gain in-depth knowledge and analysis experience through coursework and a master’s research paper, while getting real-world hands-on experience through an internship in the public or private sector, a research institute or NGO. 

You’ll be prepared to pursue further scholarly work at the PhD level or start a career in this rapidly growing field in nation-state governments, international organizations, the non-governmental sector, or the private sector.
