M.A. Program in International Affairs

Study Abroad Opportunities

Students in the International Affairs M.A. program are encouraged to study abroad for a semester, summer, or for other short programs as an integral part of their degree.

The Elliott School has a growing list of International Exchange Partner where students can study to earn up to 10 credits towards the M.A. degree. Taking courses at these locations around the globe gives students access to new hundreds of courses in both policy and regional studies and the opportunity to study alongside future leaders in International Affairs from other nations. The majority of institutions have a full curriculum in English.

Students in the International Affairs program can also participate in GW Summer Abroad programs. New programs are announced each December. Students may also participate in other accredited study abroad programs, with the permission of the Program Director.

How can study abroad fit into your Plan of Study? Below are two examples for International Affairs students.

1. Example for an IA student with interests in International Development and Southeast Asia.

2. Example for an IA student with interests in International Law & Organizations and Europe.
