About International Affairs, MA - at John Cabot University

JCU’s MA program in International Affairs will formally launch with the 2024-2025 academic year with an inaugural cohort of students beginning coursework in the Fall of 2024.

The Master of Arts (MA) degree in International Affairs at John Cabot University provides students with the training and skills to succeed in a professional career in global affairs. Taught by internationally renowned faculty and practitioners, the MA program draws on John Cabot’s strengths as a globally-oriented American liberal arts university in Rome. Dynamic, small-class-size seminars, mentorship by dedicated faculty, a vibrant multicultural student body, and a genuine English-speaking learning environment are all hallmarks of JCU’s educational approach and represent an ideal setting for graduate students to grapple with the big questions facing 21st century policy makers. 

JCU’s MA degree in International Affairs is also designed to take advantage of its unique location in Rome and the city’s intellectually vibrant past and present. The program and its faculty reflect the political character of the city itself, which is the birthplace of the Roman Republic and the European Union, the United Nations hub for food security and development, and the home to diplomatic missions to both Italy and the Holy See. All of this makes Rome one of the region’s major centers for policymaking, one which joins the worlds of Europe, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Students in the MA program will directly engage with the city’s rich confluence of global policy networks, complete a professional internship with a leading international institution in Rome, and take courses that will guide them for work in the field. 

The MA in International Affairs, thus, aims to train students in practical policy skills and site-specific learning seldom accessible at the MA level. They will graduate with a strong foundation for further advanced academic study and professional policy work.
