Undergraduate Studies (Bachelor’s Degree)
A Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree program is usually completed in three years. Two tracks of study are offered:
- Dual Major Track consisting of majors in two departments; one, International Relations, the other, chosen from the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Faculty of Humanities, or any other academic department in the University that permits this arrangement.
- Single Major Track in the Department of International Relations, consisting of the major department and supplementary studies from within the Faculty of Social Sciences.
All students must study on the Dual Major Track during their first year. They can choose the Single Major Track starting from their second year, if they meet its requirements. Most second and third-year students in the DIR prefer to remain on the Dual Major Track in order to broaden their academic knowledge beyond IR and to enlarge their employment opportunities after completing their degree.
