Overview

Globalization presents challenges that demand a new perspective on governance, and this International Public Affairs program at the University of Wisconsin Madison teaches students how to deal with these new challenges. An increasingly global economy is shaping a new business-government relationship, blunting the regulatory capacity of governments and introducing greater complexity to the design of public policies to promote important social goals. At the same time, critical policy problems such as environmental degradation, spread of deadly viruses, and financial market instability increasingly require strategies of global governance that coordinate across nations the actions of governments, businesses, and non-governmental agencies.

In short, globalization has stretched the boundaries of public affairs, analytically and managerially. More than ever, the major and the mundane issues of governance link governments with players outside the public sector and beyond domestic borders.

The MIPA degree program, completed in two years of study, is organized around a curriculum of 42 credits made up of six core courses and eight elective classes. On the foundation of required courses, the program provides students with great flexibility to pursue their intellectual interests and career goals by selecting from a wide range of policy, language, and regional study electives.

Careers

MIPA graduates work in government at home and abroad, in businesses involved in the global economy, in non-governmental agencies with an international focus, and in consulting firms analyzing implications of international policies.
