Presentation

The Master of Science in Global Affairs at New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies provides an indispensable context for a broad understanding of critical issues in international politics, economics, law, human rights, humanitarian assistance, energy, environment, and related areas.

Now more than ever, the international community needs professionals with a broad understanding of today's interconnected world system. Finance, trade, technology, and information move across national borders and form an intricate web among nations. Today's agents of international affairs are being called on to assume responsibilities and functions not envisioned 10 years ago.

This degree program addresses changes in the international political economy; political alliances and shifts of power; international laws and treaties; human rights and humanitarian assistance; issues facing developing countries; key elements of negotiation, dispute settlement, and conflict management; and more. It covers subject matter from a practical and current perspective without neglecting the historical context.

International or non-governmental organizations (NGOs)

The United Nations and its affiliated agencies
