International Relations Major Through Western Iowa Tech Community College

International relations (IR) is an interdisciplinary bachelor's degree program offered by the Department of Political Science. Students gain the combination of knowledge and skills to understand and shape our ever more closely connected and changing world. While ensuring an excellent grounding in political, economic and historical fundamentals, IR also provides substantial flexibility for students to pursue the global issues or world regions they find most interesting. International Relations provides outstanding preparation for work in the diplomatic service, multinational corporations, intelligence organizations, international organizations, think tanks, public health agencies or international media organizations.
