An IR college major provides a springboard for traveling the world by teaching students how global systems operate. It equips them with vital cross-cultural fluency and opens doors to careers in diplomacy, global Non-Governmental Organizations, and multinational organizations that require frequent international travel.
The Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service program at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., is widely considered the top undergraduate IR program in the U.S. It offers access to embassies and numerous internship and networking opportunities.
Majoring in IR compels students to understand diverse economic, political, and social systems. This improves cultural competency and sensitivity.
