This Fall 2020 semester GVPT and CIDCM launched the Master of Arts in International Relations (MAIR). MAIR is a 4+1 Combined Program that is designed to provide advanced coursework and applied quantitative methods training for students seeking international careers as analysts in the public and private sectors as well as researchers in academia and think tanks. The MAIR curriculum of 30 credits includes coursework in international political economy, international security, international law, and statistical methods of data analysis for international relations research questions. Our inaugural cohort includes 19 GVPT students. 

MAIR is now accepting applications for the 2021 - 2022 academic year. Students who will have junior standing in the 2021-2022 academic year are encouraged to apply for the program.
