Description of the video:
in order to affect change in the world you first need to try and understand the world
and so a master of international affairs will do
exactly that we live in a global interdependent
world and to be successful in any type of career
we need to better understand how our world works
how it functions and how you can act within
it to make change the program is designed to
teach students public administration public
affairs international economics as well as a
broad foundation in international history and
politics across disciplines an appreciation
of international and global factors is really
essential to being a well-informed and effective
leader students should feel like they can make
an impact in whatever field they're passionate
about that has an international context to it the
quality of the education i received at Indiana
university enabled me to successfully interact
with people who had gone anywhere to school
it was really excellent and i'm just very proud
to be an alumnus of IU we really have faculty
they're at the forefront of their fields people
who are academically oriented who publish in the
top journals in the world but also people who
are practitioners who advise organizations like
the world bank the united nations to provide you
those connections to the outside world in a very
practical way both the Hamilton Lugar school
and the O'Neill school frequently bring in
some of the world's leading policy makers
and statesmen former senators ambassadors
leaders and for our students we provide them an
opportunity to meet and learn from these leaders
to know what it takes to excel in international
affairs it also provides our students with an
opportunity to start building and growing
their own professional networks students
have an opportunity to get some experience
while they're here as well they can explore
opportunities to work for arts organizations ngos
that are located in Bloomington we also offer a
variety of international programs in particular
ones with internships in places like Portugal
or brazil you also have the ability to work in
a practicum course where you work on real world
problems and you apply what you're learning in a
meaningful way the great thing about a combination
of the international degree and management
degree like O'Neill is it's not just theoretical
all the people who graduate with this master of
international affairs are going to be little seeds
we're planting out there to put that knowledge to
use to help our state our country and eventually
the world so it's not just an academic perspective
it's actually a practitioner's perspective
