BA/BS in International Relations

This is a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations at the University of Calgary, delivered through the Faculty of Arts. The program examines cross-border interactions between groups and provides a grounding in the economic, political and socio-historical relationships between nations. Students build skills in statistical analysis, research and communication, and take coursework in at least one non-English language as part of the degree. A co-operative work placement option and study abroad opportunities are available alongside the standard course of study, giving students the choice to combine academic terms with paid work experience or international exchange. It suits students interested in global affairs and the relationships between nations, serving as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or another professional degree, or as preparation for careers in the civil service, non-profit sector or business that call for cross-cultural and analytical skills.
