Below are comments about the M.A. in International Affairs from our students:
"I have learned to see world politics through the objectively motivated eyes of a professional rather than the confused and agitated eyes of the ordinary citizen."—Sherif Rizk
"The conversations and the subject matter were first rate."—Edward Tacchi
"The program helped me to get experience and opportunities to working with international organizations such as United Nations and UNHCR. Today, I'm happy to say that I'm one of the founders of a nonprofit human rights organization, Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh."—Krishna Chakma
"I also owe a special thanks to the program professors for their academic and technical support. There was hardly anything I requested which they did not find a way to make available to me. Brooklyn College gave me the audacity to dream big."—Rashidul Bari
"The program allowed me to explore areas of personal interest within the field of international relations, such as cyberpolicy, cybersecurity, etc."—Jason Ganz
"Working as an intern researching for the UN mandate Special Rapporteur on Iran is one of the reasons I was able to now work as an international intern in Ethiopia with Save the Children International for my final spring semester."—Alex Brandt
"The M.A. program really gave me a good groundwork for a Ph.D. in political science. As for the thesis, I honestly do not think I would be nearly as close to where I am without it."—Bill Simoneau, Ph.D. student, Washington University in Saint Louis
