Overview
The Master of Arts in International Relations (MAIR) program at University of San Diego mixes academic and professional instruction in an effort to connect theory and practice, both substantively and pedagogically. Our courses are all organized in seminar or semi-seminar format, with close faculty-student interaction.
- Classic academic seminars survey the rich theoretical traditions in international relations and comparative politics. They are normally offered by the permanent faculty in the department, all with PhDs from distinguished universities.
- Professional seminars and workshops focus on empirical and policy challenges and are typically led by guests from outside the university.
- The research design short course adds a methodological component to the academic side of the program.
- Short course workshops and some of our semester long seminars (not to mention our international courses) bring accomplished professionals into the program.
Research Opportunities
Your academic courses, and in particular your experiences during our travel courses, will lead to your final Capstone course, where you'll conduct research on a topic of your choosing, and present your project at a public symposium.
