At the graduate level, the Council administers Yale University's largest master's program, the Master's Degree in International Relations. The approximately thirty students admitted each year combine fundamental training in several disciplines with attention to the complexities of the Post-cold War Era. Many students pursue this degree jointly with a degree from one of Yale's professional schools. The Council also supports graduate and faculty interdisciplinary research which enriches doctoral training programs within departments and professional schools at Yale.
Undergraduate students are able to participate in two separate degree programs.
The Ethnicity, Race and Migration major combines the disciplinary requirement of a first major with an interdisciplinary comparative study of the forces creating a multicultural, multiethnic and multiracial world. Beyond formal degree programs, the International Affairs Council is directly involved in supporting emerging fields of study through the Global Migration Program and the Central Asia Initiative.
