Tx International Relations is an interdisciplinary degree drawn from Economics, History, and Political Science. The degree provides a broad understanding of world affairs and competence for entry level positions in the field. Graduates take up a variety of careers, including work in government and service agencies, tourism and international business.
Many students take IR as a pre-law program or for entry to graduate studies.
In developing the curriculum, the guidelines of the U.S. Foreign Service were used. St. Mary's University benefits from its location in San Antonio, a crossroads of Hispanic culture, trade and tourism. With a student body that is half Hispanic, and a large group of foreign students from across the globe, St. Mary's is an exciting and practical place to study international affairs.
