This seminar will introduce students majoring in international relations to relevant career paths in the governmental and private-sector fields. It will do this through a series of speakers, readings and class discussions, as well as relatively brief written assignments. The seminar will concentrate most heavily on US government careers, but it will also cover intergovernmental organizations, global corporations, and non-profit organizations having an international focus. It will encourage students to think critically about various international careers, including how those careers might fit with their skills, interests, and broader goals. The seminar will accordingly take a fairly practical approach, rather than one that is more theoretical or conceptual.
