The International Relations (IR) Program in the School of Arts and Sciences at Tufts University administers the IR major, an interdisciplinary undergraduate course of study in international affairs. The IR Program draws on the expertise of approximately 100 core faculty members from 21 departments and programs across the university. The major is one of the largest in the School of Arts, Sciences and Engineering, and the reputation of the program attracts exceptional applicants to Tufts from around the world. Founded in 1977, the IR Program at Tufts began as--and has remained--a model for the interdisciplinary study of the international affairs from historical, cultural, political, and economic perspectives. It promotes the importance of foreign languages, research methodologies, and the development of independent research projects, which often culminate in faculty-student research partnerships and senior honors theses. The staff of the IR Program partners with faculty and administrators to ensure the rigor of the major. It also promotes student participation and leadership in Program initiatives by encouraging collaboration between staff and students in planning and organizing academic community-building events, such as faculty panels for the discussion of current international events, academic conferences, career events featuring program alumni, and opportunities for lifelong learning. The staff of the IR Program routinely assesses the curriculum, programming, policies and procedures to ensure growth and improvement.
