Bachelor of Arts - International Relations

The mission of the International Relations Program is to develop and enhance in students an understanding and appreciation of the emerging problems, diversity, and interdependence of the global arena.

The International Relations major at California State University, Chico provides students with a solid basis in two Political Science subfields – Comparative Politics and International Relations. Through the major, students will gain an understanding of international interactions, such as conflict and trade, as well as the politics of other nations, such as alternative government forms. Students will also be exposed to the politics of the world’s major regions through region-specific courses. International Relations students excel in many professions but are especially well suited for domestic and international work in the public and non-profit sectors.
