Assurance of Learning: M.A. in Global Affairs and Human Security

Mission Statement: The Master of Arts in Global Affairs and Human Security program provides opportunities for students interested in international issues to develop functional skills that will allow them to compete for careers in the non-profit sector and with supra-national organizations. The mission of the program is to expose students to contemporary issues in sustainable development, good governance, transnational problem solving, and the promotion of human security. Students examine the ways that NGOs, supra-national organizations, intergovernmental bodies, and global actors work together to address issues of human well-being, while confronting challenges that are beyond any single government or entity to solve.
