Über das Studium:

This program is offered by the College of Arts & Sciences. It is awarded by the St. Louis home campus, but includes study at several international Webster University campuses and partners, requiring travel to a minimum of three different countries.

The global master of arts (GMA) in international relations enables students to analyze the complexities and processes involved in world politics and international affairs while traveling the world. Students achieve this objective not only through coursework providing exposure to the key subfields of the discipline and relevant issues such as globalization, human rights, humanitarian action and economic development, but also through professional seminars and experiences at five of Webster’s overseas sites. Traveling in cohorts, students develop broad expertise in international relations while also earning a certificate in on of four specialized areas: security studies, international development, comparative and regional governance, or international non-governmental organizations. This program is ideal for students seeking work with a governmental agency, an intergovernmental organization, a nongovernmental organization, or a multinational corporation. This program is also recommended to students planning to pursue a PhD or an academic career at another institution.

Studieninhalt:

Students enrolled in Webster Global degrees achieve greater comprehension of theoretical approaches to understanding global issues, not only through traditional course work but also through lived experience in different nations, interaction with local people, and through field visits. Hence, there are several fundamental experiences that distinguish the "Global degree" from a "non-global" degree.

  • A Global degree cannot be completed at one Webster University campus alone.
  • A Global degree includes study at several Webster University campuses in a minimum of three different countries.
  • A Global degree allows students to engage directly in various cultures and develop a global perspective that might not otherwise be achieved.
  • A Global degree requires a structured rotation of students among the Webster campuses with a predefined academic curriculum for each campus.
  • A Global degree allows for the movement of a cohort of students between campuses while still achieving all of the requirements for graduation.
  • A Global degree is designed so that the time spent in the local culture at each Webster campus complements the academic work in the student's particular area of study.

Global degree programs have a cohort of students. They are not available for single students moving among campuses. The cohort size will be determined by the academic department offering the Global degree. The integration of location-specific highlights that enhance academic understanding is crucial to a Global degree and should be organized as a part of the student's coursework, normally in professional seminars.
