The master's program requires 30 credits of graduate-level work. International Affairs students concentrate their coursework in the following two fields.
International Affairs is offered as an Accelerated Degree program, which allows undergraduate Marquette students to earn their bachelor's and master's degree in five years.
In conjunction with the Law School, students also can pursue a dual master of arts-juris doctor (M.A.-J.D.) program in political science or international affairs. Through the combined program, full-time students can complete the juris doctor and master of arts degrees in only four years.
Furthermore, law school graduates can pursue an accelerated master of arts degree through awards of transfer credit for work completed as part of the juris doctor degree. Dual degree programs are also available in conjunction with the communication and the business administration graduate programs.
