Changing the world should start with understanding it

While many of us want to make a difference in the world, we may not even know where to start. The Indiana Wesleyan University International Relations program is a great place to pursue an understanding of how our global world works. Students will be introduced to important areas of study within the field of International Relations, which includes international peace and security, foreign policy analysis, international law and organizations, and global ethics.

Students who complete the International Relations program develop a theoretical and practical understanding of global politics and contemporary international affairs. International Relations majors are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills for professional careers in government agencies, international organizations, multinational corporations, international non-governmental organizations, and academia. Students who complete this program will also be prepared to pursue teaching, research, and graduate studies in international relations, and global public policy.

Pursuing a degree in International Relations aids students in confronting the prospects for exercising Christian influence and promoting positive change. Enrich your academic journey by gaining an understanding of the world. Be prepared to make an impact at home and abroad.

Students may also choose to minor in International Relations as a supplement to another IWU major as they globalize their studies.

Those majoring in International Relations may consider complementing their preparation with another major or minor in:

  • Business Administration
  • Communication Studies
  • Economics
  • History
  • Intercultural Studies
  • International and Community Development
  • Political Science
  • Philosophy and Theology
  • TESOL
  • Writing

Faculty

The IWU faculty members who facilitate courses in the International Relations major take seriously their students' understanding of global political processes, problems, and possibilities. They do so to prepare a new generation of knowledgeable and engaged citizens, committed to being doers of justice and seekers of peace.

The faculty has a record of empowering students to be engaged in the field, researching problems and potential solutions, presenting scholarly papers at national conferences, rolling up their sleeves to work toward the mitigation of global issues, or serving overseas for the U.S. government.
