We seek to train students for international careers. Our program bridges the traditional divide between the world of the theorist/academician and the practitioner. Too often, programs in international relations that are focused excessively on theory have students engaged in sterile theoretical debates divorced from reality; whereas international professionals with no background in theory create policies that disregard world history and the understanding of its dynamics. Students in our program do not only gain academic knowledge but practical skills as well, leaving them well-rounded and fully prepared for professional life. http://www.miami.edu Representative: TBD
