International Affairs (B.A.)
About
The Bachelor of Arts degree in international affairs allows students to choose among several integrative concentrations: international security; history and development of the global system; comparative politics and area studies; culture, conflict, and globalization; economics; language, culture, and the humanities; global women’s, gender, and sexuality issues; and Canadian studies.
Our status as a Title VI National Resource Center on Canada offers our majors the best opportunities to study Canada in the Northeast. Student learning in International Affairs extends outside the classroom. Many students choose to study-abroad, others are involved in political activities, and the student-run organization, the International Affairs Association, organizes related campus events and participates yearly in the McGill Model United Nations Assembly in Montreal.
Program Highlights
Requirements
Majors must receive a rating of Intermediate (Low, Mid, or High) or higher on the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) or the Oral Proficiency Interview by Computer (OPIc) of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. Students are responsible for registering and paying for these tests with Language Testing International. Minimum preparation for these interviews is generally six credits at the 300-level or above in French or Spanish. Students who wish to select one of the other languages taught in the Critical Languages program must consult the Chair of the Department of Modern Languages and Classics.
International students are permitted to meet the language requirement with their TOEFL score but are encouraged to undertake further foreign language study.
