Master of Arts in Global Governance, Politics, and Security

Geopolitical rivalry, forced migration, technological disruption, democratic backsliding, and economic instability are reshaping the international system. Meeting these challenges and others requires professionals with expertise in the deeper forces driving global change and a commitment to service that makes a difference. The MA in Global Governance, Politics, and Security (GGPS) is designed for students who want to think broadly, act pragmatically, and contribute to solving problems that matter.


The Global Governance, Politics, and Security (GGPS) master's degree requires 36 credit hours of graduate coursework, including a capstone, that can be completed in full-time or part-time. Our program combines the intellectual breadth of an international affairs degree with the practical skills in demand across government agencies, international organizations, think tanks, and the private sector. Students acquire a foundation across core fields before tailoring their expertise across flexible concentrations in Global Security, Multilateral Diplomacy and Global Governance, State, Society & Politics, and International Economic Policy.
