This concentration within the Master of Global Affairs will immerse you in the broad, multidisciplinary field of global affairs, provide training in quantitative methods and analytical reasoning, and sharpen and expand the professional skills you need to engage with policymakers, practitioners, and the private sector. Plus, you'll focus on an area of particular interest - including global health, human rights, international law, migration/refugees, democratic politics, global religion, or another critical issue or global challenge. The Keough School of Global Affairs offers a two-year professional Master of Global Affairs (M.G.A.) degree to prepare students to become highly skilled, effective, and ethical leaders in governments, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector. Students choose a program of study in which they acquire deep knowledge and strengthen analytical and practical skills in Global Affairs, International Peace Studies, or Sustainable Development. All students engage in a practicum, in which they develop sustained partnerships with leading global organizations, practitioners, and policymakers, and spend several months working in the field to develop integrated solutions for global challenges.
