Thanks to our professional partnerships, students can visit leading institutions in the international arena and meet face-to-face with experts to discuss their work and current global challenges. These connections allow students to work on innovative capstone projects, go on exchange or participate in immersion weeks. Plus, through our ongoing relationships with international organizations, governments and cutting-edge tech companies, students have unrivaled experiential opportunities within a global network of leading players in both the public and private sectors.

Professionals with expertise in emerging technologies are in ever-greater demand. Right now, tech is advancing quicker than our capacity to adapt to it and leverage it for good. There is a growing need for professionals, both in the public and the private sector, who can combine international affairs expertise with a solid understanding of tech’s disruptive powers, its opportunities and the challenges it raises. Students will gain hands-on experience in policy design, strategy and implementation. This program goes beyond the traditional boundaries of the discipline, equipping students with the skills, knowledge and connections to work in health, education, transportation, sustainability and more, whether for private multinationals or world-leading international organizations.

Graduates with expertise in both tech and global affairs will be uniquely positioned to play leading roles in seeking innovative solutions to the complex challenges facing the world today. Students will gain core skills in research and analysis, policy design and implementation, management, data programming and computing. Career paths in international organizations, government, tech, consulting, global companies, think tanks, NGOs and more will open up at the points where tech and geopolitical expertise intersect.
