International Relations Undergraduate Curriculum OverviewWith the launch of the Global Politics major, International Relations is available only to those students who began at Carnegie Mellon during or before spring semester 2008; students entering the university during or after fall semester 2008 should instead refer to the Global Politics major. International Relations is available exclusively as an additional major or minor to be pursued in conjunction with a disciplinary major in H&SS or another college. International Relations is jointly offered by the departments of Social and Decision Sciences, History, and Modern Languages. All students in the program are encouraged to complete one semester of study abroad. The International Relations program provides a set of core competencies in history, politics, social science analysis, foreign language, and cultural analysis. Students concentrate in the social science aspects of international relations, gaining knowledge in a range of theories and methodologies, or in the cultural aspects of the field, examining the role of beliefs, culture, religion, and race in interstate and intra-state behavior. |
