Global Policy

The Global Policy pathway has two streams – International Policy and US Foreign Policy.  The International Policy stream focuses on issues of globalization, development and equity, and international organizations.  The US Foreign Policy stream examines the history of US relations with other nations, current policies, and issues of national and international security.  A sampling of past internships in these areas is included – for a full listing, visit the Undergraduate Internship Office.
