MA International Studies

UNT is one of the few universities in the state that offers a graduate degree in International Studies. The degree provides students with the professional skills and substantive knowledge necessary for global careers, such as diplomatic statecraft, development and humanitarian aid, and non-governmental organizational work.

The Master of Arts with a major in international studies is a professional and interdisciplinary degree drawing on the courses and faculty members from various departments across campus as well as the UNT Health Science Center at Fort Worth. The interdisciplinary approach allows you to gain critical insights on key international issues.

The degree program consists of two components: a professional skills area and a specialization area. Each area offers multiple tracks so you can design an individualized program that best meets your career aspirations.

Those tracks are:

Professional skills area

• Assessment and Evaluation
• Management Skills

Specialization area

• Human Security
• International Development and Sustainability
• National Security and Diplomacy
