Graduate Study Plans

The Master of Arts in Global Affairs is designed to give every student the flexibility they need to complete their studies, whether they are full-time students or working professionals. Students may enroll in full-time status or part-time status and may change their status from one semester to the next. Completing the degree can be done in a year with most students completing it in 1-2 years depending on their circumstances. Students are also able to take breaks in their programs, as long as the degree is completed within six years of initial enrollment. 

Note that if you are applying to the Accelerated MA/BAM program, the plan will look different. Please see here for more information. 

The study plans below are intended to provide potential routes for completing the degree within the student's ideal time frame. Note that the specialization courses would be selected by the student.
