Our 36-credit, cross-disciplinary M.A. in Global Affairs and Human Security provides you with an opportunity to explore your interests in international issues related to good governance, sustainable development, transnational problem-solving and the promotion of human security.

With the specialized knowledge, applied skills and functional expertise you'll gain in this program, you'll be a competitive candidate for careers in the nonprofit and public sectors and with supranational organizations.

The University of Baltimore is ideally situated in a region with a large number of nongovernmental organizations with global missions—from those that promote sustainable development and good governance to those that engage in peace-building and crisis and humanitarian response. You'll have opportunities to learn beyond the classroom through guest speakers, field placements and more.

Classes are offered evenings and online, and some courses are offered in the summer for continuing students.

Understanding NGOs and Nonprofits

Today, there are an estimated 40,000 international nongovernmental organizations operating worldwide, and date from the United Nations show that the nonprofit sector grew dramatically at the end of the 20th century and has outright exploded in recent years.

The reasons?

  • Nation-states have grown weaker, and some regulatory instruments have been transferred to the regional level.
  • Environmental concerns have become more predominant, especially those related to climate change, biodiversity and sustainability.
  • Conflicts over the impacts of trade on well-being, public health and the environment have grown.
  • Questions regarding the ability of existing institutions to manage these issues have proliferated in the wake of the recognition that sustainable solutions require sustained cooperation.

These changes have sparked a broad interest in global issues and a desire to affect meaningful and sustainable change. Do you have that same desire?
