The University of Chicago is renowned for its interdisciplinary culture, and masters students can pursue a variety of joint or dual degree programs:

JD/MA in International Relations

In partnership with the Law School and International Relations , a student may earn both the J.D. and a master’s degree in International Relations  in eleven quarters. Applicants must gain acceptance to each degree program separately and should convey to each unit the interest in this joint degree while applying.

MPP/MA in Middle Eastern Studies

In partnership with the Harris Public Policy , the  Center for Middle Eastern Studies offers students an opportunity to earn both a Master of Arts in Middle Eastern Studies and a Master of Public Policy . This joint degree program addresses the needs of students wishing to acquire a background focused on modern Middle Eastern languages, history, and civilization while developing their abilities in policy analysis in preparation for professional careers in scholarly, educational, governmental, nongovernmental, and business environments in the United States and abroad. 

MBA/MA in International Relations

This joint program between the Chicago Booth and the Committee on International Relations allows students to complement the study of the role of ideas, interests, and power in shaping international relations with a business education. Students take theoretical and interdisciplinary courses in international relations and write a master’s thesis tailored to fit their specific interests and career goals. Students must apply through Booth first, and then discuss the program with CIR.

MBA/MA in Area Studies

Students in these programs take courses in a modern area language and have the opportunity to pursue their interests in such subjects as the ethnology or history of the region. Through this joint-degree program , students further their understanding of the important political, cultural, and economic dynamics affecting this region.

The Center for Latin American Studies and Chicago Booth offer a joint MBA and MA in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. The program allows students to pursue coursework devoted to studying the culture, politics, history, and language of the region as a complement to their MBA degree. Similarly, the joint MBA and MA in Middle Eastern Studies allows students to pursue coursework through the  Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES)  to develop a comprehensive understanding of the history, culture, politics, and languages of the region as a complement to their MBA education.

MA in Public Policy and International Relations

Offered jointly by the  Committee on International Relations and Harris Public Policy , the program combines training in public policy analytical tools with a substantive emphasis on international affairs. Graduates of the program hold two master of arts degrees —one in public policy and one in international relations. Applicants interested in the dual MA program in International Relations and Public Policy Studies must apply separately to both the Committee on International Relations and to Harris and should convey to each unit the interest in this joint degree while applying.

Along with its one-year MA program, CIR offers two joint degree programs: an MBA/MA with the Booth School of Business, and a BA/MA for undergraduates entering their final year in the College at the University of Chicago. CIR also offers dual degree options: a JD/MA with the Law School, and an MA/MA with the Harris School of Public Policy. Joint and dual degree students must satisfy all CIR degree requirements, including course distribution requirements and registered attendance in our non-credit MA thesis paper workshop sequence. For specifics regarding joint degree and dual degree programs in the social sciences, please see the Division’s Joint/Dual Masters Programs page  here .

The BA/MA joint degree program with CIR is intended for rising fourth-year students enrolled in the College at the University of Chicago who want to pursue graduate education in international relations. During the Autumn Quarter of their third year, prospective BA/MA students must consult with their College adviser, the Director of Undergraduate Studies in their College major, and the Assistant Dean of Students for Admissions in the Social Sciences ( Lindsey Weglarz ). 

Students graduating with the BA/MA are expected to fulfill all of the  regular requirements  for graduation from CIR. Applicants are expected, but not required, to have a GPA of 3.55 or higher. Please see the  Division of the Social Sciences  for application requirements and process. BA/MA students can apply during any of the three application rounds, but we strongly encourage applying during Early Action or Round 1, as Round 2 is on a space-available basis only.

Learn more about the BA/MA program.

Students applying to the MBA/MA must apply for admission to the Booth School of Business, clearly indicate that they are interested in the MBA/MA with CIR, and provide the additional materials requested for joint-degree consideration.

• Students take a reduced course load of 14 courses in the Booth School of Business, and the full 9 graduate courses required by CIR (in addition to the non-credit course commitments and required MA thesis paper project). Individual courses cannot be double-counted towards the requirements for both degree programs.
• To facilitate the writing of the MA thesis paper, students must complete both CIR core seminars and all required non-credit CIR courses in a single academic year. The MA thesis paper must also be submitted and approved no later than the end of Summer Quarter of said chosen academic year. Students who plan to complete the degree on an eight-quarter schedule typically opt to complete these requirements during their second year in residence. Students who are on a three-year schedule to completion have the option of deferring enrollment in these courses until their final year in residence.
• Students in the MBA/MA joint degree program may choose to have their MA thesis paper approved by two faculty readers — one CIR faculty reader and one reader from the Booth School of Business – in addition to their assigned preceptor.

Students must apply to both the Law School and CIR separately and receive offers of admission to both programs.

• To complete the CIR program requirements as outlined above, students take 9 graduate for-credit courses in an academic year of their choosing: 3 in the Law School and 6 in the Division of the Social Sciences, satisfying CIR’s field distribution requirements. To facilitate the writing of the MA thesis paper, students must complete all required non-credit CIR courses and have their MA thesis paper approved no later than Summer Quarter of said chosen academic year.
• Students in the JD/MA joint degree program may choose to have their MA paper approved by two faculty readers — one CIR faculty reader and one reader from the Law School – in addition to their assigned preceptor.

Students interested in a second (one-year) Master’s degree offered by the Harris School of Public Policy must apply separately to the Harris School, either before the start of the CIR program, or more commonly during the first quarter of their CIR year.

Students in this dual program always start their studies with CIR and are strongly encouraged to complete all CIR degree requirements no later than the Summer Quarter of their first year in residence.

Joint Degree Program

You can pursue two graduate degrees through our partnerships with other professional schools at the University of Pittsburgh and with one foreign university. This approach reduces the number of credits you need for both degrees and helps shorten your time to graduation.

How To Apply

To apply to a joint degree program, you must apply separately to GSPIA and to the partner school. Admissions decisions are made independently. If you are admitted to both programs, you may pursue the joint degree. You may apply to both degrees simultaneously. Students who are already enrolled in a partner program may apply to GSPIA before completing their first 24 credits in the partner school. Students who are already enrolled at GSPIA may apply to a partner school before completing their first 24 credits.

Eligibility and Requirements

Only full-time students are eligible to enroll in a joint degree program. Joint-degree students must complete a total of 36 GSPIA credits and must be actively enrolled at GSPIA for at least three terms. In general, students in a joint master's program (MBA, MPH, MSIS, or MSW) enroll for three terms in GSPIA and three terms in the partner school for a total of three years of study. Students enrolled in the joint JD program spend three terms in GSPIA and five terms in Pitt Law School for a total of four years of study. 

Master of Public Administration, Master of Public and International Affairs, and Master of International Development students may apply to our joint degree programs unless otherwise noted. PhD students are not eligible to pursue joint degrees, and MPPM students are not eligible for joint degrees with the exception of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program.

Data analytics has rapidly established itself as a core competency across virtually all facets of society. This is particularly true in the policy space, where practitioners and advocates alike have adopted a new-found focus on “evidence-based” approaches. Data analytics are at the core of these approaches and drive demand for students who understand both policy and analytics.

At Pitt, you can pursue two graduate degrees simultaneously through the joint Master of Quantitative Economics/Master of Public Administration program between the Department of Economics and the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. This streamlined, 2 ½ years joint degree program is built for students seeking training in public policy, public administration, and data analytics.  It is ideally suited for students looking to enter mid-career positions as policy/data analysts in both the public and private sectors. 

Students complete all of the typical requirements for the MQE program. Students will also complete all the required GSPIA MPA coursework, except for 3 quantitative courses whose content is replaced by the quantitative training in the MQE classes. Joint degree students also have the number of required MPA elective courses reduced by one relative to the normal MPA degree. Finally, joint degree students will be able to choose whether to do their capstone project through the MQE program or through the MPA program.

Combine your GSPIA degree with a Master of International Affairs, Master of Laws, Master of Economics, or Master of Political Science to prepare for a career in service internationally. Classes are taught in English.

Statement of Academic Purpose

Joint m.a. program.

Journalism requires applicants to write a personal essay. The essay is an extremely important part of the application, so treat it accordingly. The essay should be 1,000 to 1,500 words in length. In addition, all applicants must submit at least two samples of their work, whether published or not.

The goal of the essay is to give the Admissions Committee a concrete sense of who you are as someone who aspires to a career as a professional journalist, writing and reporting for print, online or broadcast media. It should address the following questions: What do you expect to get from the program? What aspects of your experience are most relevant to your interest in journalism? Tell us about your background--your academic degree, intellectual interests, work experience, life experience, and other sources of inspiration--and explain how this background informs what you want to do as a journalist.

Applicants should also describe their existing "body of work" as a journalist, critic or just someone who writes. We are mostly interested in published work, but if you have yet to break into print, then tell us what kind of writing you have done. What have been your major themes? What issues and phenomena most engage you? What publications do you read regularly and why? Which journalists do you admire, which do you dislike, and which have influenced you?

Please append to your essay a brief statement of your plans for financing your graduate work. This statement must be included, whether or not you are applying for financial aid.

All Other Programs

Please explain, in a brief and concise manner, how your past studies and work experience relate to a course of study at the graduate level in International Relations at NYU. Please also explain why you chose to apply to study in the IR Program at NYU and the specified concentration (if any), or the dual degree M.P.A.-M.A. in Public and Non-Profit Management and Policy and International Relations, and how NYU specifically will help you to advance your personal and professional objectives. The statement should be no more than two double-spaced pages.

NYU’s Program in International Relations trains individuals who wish to make a difference in the world either through the practice of international affairs in government, the non-governmental or private sectors or through continued academic study. With that in mind, please reflect on the following questions in writing your Statement of Academic Purpose:

● How do the Program’s objectives fit with your own goals and interests?

● How will your educational objectives help you achieve your future career goals?

● Where do you see yourself 10 years after graduating from NYU?

Writing Sample

All programs.

An English-language writing sample is required. The writing sample must not exceed 3,000 words (excluding citations and bibliography) and should be double-spaced, in typescript. It could be a short course paper, an excerpt from a longer paper or thesis, or a published article. If possible, it should be related to international relations or contemporary global issues. If needed, a writing prompt is available on the  program’s website . Most importantly, the writing sample should demonstrate the author’s critical thinking, analytical ability, and prose writing skills in English. A strong writing sample will improve the chances of admission.

In addition to the writing sample shown above for all master’s applicants, two different writing samples are required for Journalism. The writing samples need not have been published, although if you have clips you are proud of, please do submit them. The samples should represent your best overall work and your aptitude for journalism. Clips from your college newspaper, personal essays, academic research papers, and short fiction are all acceptable.

General Information

The Committee on International Relations (CIR) has its origins in a conference on the causes and characteristics of major wars, which was organized in 1926 by University of Chicago political scientists Charles Merriam and Quincy Wright. In 1928, the research papers and collaborations spawned by this conference led to the award of several master’s degrees and thereby the establishment of CIR, now the nation’s oldest graduate program in international affairs.

Combining rigorous core instruction with an interdisciplinary curriculum, CIR’s one-year master’s program allows students to explore the complexities of global politics and interact with  world-class faculty, scholars, and professionals  across the social sciences and the business, law, and public policy schools. Students develop depth of expertise by specializing in two fields of study and by producing an original MA thesis. A member of the University of Chicago faculty, CIR’s senior academic staff, and an assigned preceptor together mentor each student. 

CIR also offers an extensive professional development curriculum. In addition to working with CIR’s in-house career services team, students access the expertise and funding of the University’s Center for International Social Science Research, Institute of Politics, and regional studies centers. 

CIR maintains its own professional development fund for self-designed internships in the United States and abroad; for career exploration treks; for MA thesis field work; and for individual and group visits to the University of Chicago’s global centers in New Delhi, Beijing, and Hong Kong.  

Joint BA/MA Program

Qualified students in the College who wish to pursue a joint MA degree in International Relations should consult with their College adviser and the Assistant Dean of Students for Admissions in the Social Sciences (Lindsey Weglarz,  [email protected] ). These meetings should happen in the Autumn Quarter of the student's third year. 

Application

Applicants are recommended, but not required, to have a GPA of 3.55 or higher.

Applications are due on the same timeline as all applications for MA admission.

The application is submitted online to the dean of students of the Division of the Social Sciences.

More information on the application process can be found at socialsciences.uchicago.edu/admissions .

Application Requirements

• A completed online graduate application.
• A candidate statement exploring your motivations and preparation for undertaking graduate study in CIR specifically.
• Two letters of recommendation, preferably from academic writers familiar with your work as a student and/or supervisors familiar with your work as a researcher.
• A double-spaced, solo-authored writing sample of approximately 15 pages, ideally from a single seminar paper or research project.
• Unofficial transcripts
• A Proposed Curriculum document that identifies (1) up to three courses completed as part of the BA degree that will be petitioned to count toward the MA degree distribution requirements (see Program Requirements below), and (2) the graduate-level courses the applicant intends to take during their year in the program. Applicants should contact Assistant Dean of Students for Admissions in the Social Sciences (Lindsey Weglarz,  [email protected] ) for the most recent list of approved courses. 

BA/MA applicants are not charged an application fee. 

Prospective BA/MA students must meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies in their College major, filling out a form available for download from the online application, to confirm their eligibility for the BA/MA, to specify how many of the nine graduate courses they would take will be double-counted to satisfy their BA requirements, and to assure that all BA requirements will be met no later than the June Convocation of their fourth year. That form, with the signature of the Director of Undergraduate Studies (or their designee), must be submitted as part of the BA/MA application. 

Space in the CIR BA/MA program is limited, and admission is very competitive. Admission to the MA program is also subject to approval by the College. Students in joint residence status are charged tuition at graduate rates.

Program Requirements

Students selected to participate in the joint degree program must meet all the normal BA requirements for their particular field of study, as well as all the general education requirements. In addition, joint degree students in CIR must meet all program requirements listed here. 

Students must complete both the BA and MA degrees, the second award no later than the end of the Summer Quarter following a September matriculation. 

By default, the nine MA-level courses during the dual enrollment year (fourth year) can be double-counted as general elective credit toward the bachelor's degree. BA/MA students may choose instead to double-count MA courses toward BA major or minor electives or requirements, with approval of the Director of Undergraduate Studies for their major/minor. Questions regarding double-counting or degree logistics should be directed to Lindsey Weglarz, Assistant Dean of Students ( [email protected] ).

MBA/Master of Arts in International Relations

The mba/ma in international relations degree allows students to complement their business education with the study of the role of ideas, interests, and power in shaping international relations..

An MBA in international relations is the ideal program for future leaders interested in a wide range of careers, including consulting, international banking, finance, and administrative management.

Chicago Booth partners with the Committee on International Relations (CIR), where students take theoretical and interdisciplinary courses in international relations and write a master’s thesis tailored to fit their specific interests and career goals. This dual MBA and international relations program requires the successful completion of 2300 units of course credit (+LEAD) and an integrated master’s thesis.

Program Structure

Students complete 1,400 units of Booth-only course credit (+ LEAD) and 900 units of CIR-only course credit over a two-year period. Over the two-year period, students complete Booth courses and international relations courses simultaneously each quarter. The summer of their first year of residency, students will complete their business-related internship, and the summer following their second year of residency, they will submit their thesis and graduate.

Tuition for the joint MBA/MA in International Relations program is assessed through Chicago Booth at a flat rate. If a student takes more than 2200 units, they will be assessed the per course rate for any additional units. View more details of estimated costs here .

Booth Courses

Leadership Effectiveness and Development (LEAD)

This course is required of all Full-Time students and is completed during the Autumn Quarter of their first year of residency in the program. The course is designed to enhance students’ self-awareness and interpersonal effectiveness by providing them with an opportunity to benchmark themselves with respect to critical aspects of leadership—working in teams, influencing others, conflict management, interpersonal communication, presentation skills, etc. The course also helps students create a personalized plan to guide their continued development at Booth and beyond.

CEU and Bard to Offer New Joint International Relations MA Program Track

Students applying to  Central European University’s (CEU) one-year Master's program in International Relations can now choose between two customized tracks: New York City and Vienna, thanks to a new collaboration between Bard College and CEU which features student mobility and distinct specialization opportunities. The program, which will initiate teaching during the fall of academic year 2023-24, is now accepting applications for its first class of students with a deadline of February 1, 2023.

“The CEU International Relations Department is proud to launch this new track of its one-year MA program in cooperation with the Bard Global Studies Program in New York, said Thomas Fetzer , Associate Professor and Head of CEU’s Department of International Relations. “This will provide an exciting new offer for prospective students who would like to combine a thorough grounding in the study of International Relations here in Vienna, with a more practice-oriented second part in New York, interning with an international organization and learning from accomplished scholar-practitioners for their capstone projects.”

Michelle Murray , Associate Professor of Politics, Chair of the Social Studies Division and Faculty Director of Bard’s MA in Global Studies highlights, “One aspect of the Bard/CEU collaboration that I find especially exciting is the genuinely global nature of this program, which I think sets it apart from others and creates fertile ground from which our students will generate new ideas and perspectives on international relations.”

On the occasion of the program’s launch, Murray adds, “Our close connection to the Open Society University Network will ensure we are able to recruit a diverse student body that brings a range of perspectives and experiences to the table.  Taken all together, this really is a program intentionally designed to prepare students to respond to the twenty-first century’s most challenging global problems with creativity and rigor.”

For the New York City track, students begin in Vienna, studying in International Relations program at Central European University. For the winter and spring terms students move to the Bard MA in Global Studies program in New York City, where they complete coursework and  an internship with an organization working on global affairs . At the end of the program, students submit a capstone project. The program's curriculum places at its center the theory-practice nexus, equipping students with a sophisticated set of theoretical and conceptual tools and practical experiences. Students interested in this track must submit applications to both CEU’s one year program in International Relations and the Bard College MA in Global Studies .

Applicants who are interested in pursuing a ‘classic’ MA program with two terms of coursework and an MA thesis, can enroll into the Vienna track of CEU’s one-year MA in International Relations. The Vienna Track provides students with a foundation in international relations and allows them to pursue three different specializations: Global Order and Politics (GOP), International Political Economy and Development (IPE), and Conflict and Security (CONSEC). While internship is not mandatory in the Vienna track, students might take short professional development courses offered in the Spring term. 

Prospective students can learn more during a program webinar on December 20 at 3pm CET . Link to register is here . Merit and need-based financial aid is available.

Program Requirements

The Maxwell School offers a joint Economics and International Relations option which allows you to earn two MA degrees–in International Relations and in Economics–in only two years. You will be expected to complete challenging courses in economic theory and econometrics, as well as the core courses in International Relations.

Students will learn applied quantitative techniques that can be employed in a variety of careers in government, the private sector or with non-governmental organizations. Areas of concentration include econometrics, economic development, international economics, urban and regional economics, and finance.

This career field offers a unique opportunity to marry private-sector capital concerns with delicate political and social issues. As banks and business continue to globalize their services and emerging markets continue to influence developed financial markets, an understanding of how internationalization influences interest rates, currency and securities values, and local economies is crucial.
