The curriculum and content of the International Relations Program is a reflection of the University's mission regarding justice and the increasing need to envision international political behavior in the framework of justice. In its own capacity and within the University's mission, the International Relations Program promotes international and world harmony through the inculcation of the concept of justice in the analysis of international and world politics.

The program prepares graduates to be constructively critical of their immediate and broader political environment, be that in their place of work (government, education, the private sector, the media, or nongovernmental organizations) or simply as citizens of both their country and the world.

The program's objective is to reinforce the vision of its graduates to view fellow human beings not only as representatives of national and social compartments, but also as overlapping circles in a world community. In practical terms, this translates into global solidarity and the elimination of injustice everywhere. Graduates are able to produce creative and pragmatic solutions to problems and dilemmas confronting our world.

The program accomplishes its objective by exposing the candidates in a systematic and comprehensive way to the realities of the political environment through a core of courses covering political thought, international relations and comparative politics. Through rigorous analysis, these core courses familiarize the M.A. candidates with the various layers of the political landscape and provide them with the skill to become critical thinkers about that landscape. A series of topical and regional electives present them with the opportunity to practice and sharpen critical skills on a variety of timely issues.
