Bachelor of Arts in International Relations

Cottey College's baccalaureate program in international relations offers a major and a minor in international relations, where students are mentored to use their academic training, interdisciplinary coursework, and compulsory study abroad experience to advance social justice by actively engaging with socio-political challenges plaguing their local and global communities.

With the program's well-grounded focus on critical thinking, problem solving, and effective communication, it is purposefully designed to prepare students for a successful career in public service and for private sector positions at think tanks, non-profits, and the media. Additionally, faculty members in the program work closely with students to prepare for graduate or law school. Recent alumnae are pursuing a myriad of career paths, including service with AmeriCorps, law school, and graduate degrees in public administration and business administration.
