Prospective Graduate Students

Graduate education at Boston University reflects the quality of the faculty, the strength of its research programs and facilities, and the historical and cultural advantages of our location in Boston. Despite the significant size and diversity of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GRS), emphasis is on the individual graduate student, beginning with the proper match among interests, programs, and faculty advisers, and continuing with sustained concern for the student’s development as a scholar, researcher, practitioner, and teacher.

The Department of International Relations offers nine Master of Arts programs. Our graduate programs in International Relations are designed to educate and train the next generation of academics and professionals. Students will find that our programs offer a great deal of flexibility for their particular interests and needs. For information on the degrees that we offer, please see the Graduate Programs section of this website.

Boston University’s policies provide for equal opportunity and affirmative action in employment and admission to all programs of the University.
