International Relations
Our students seek to understand the political, economic, social, and cultural relations among states as well as the transnational roles of non-state actors.
At Simmons, we engage our students politically
Through opportunities like the Warburg Program — where you learn from former U.S. Ambassadors and other leaders in business and public service — and internships in local and national government, our students blend theory and professional preparation.
Our events are leadership focused, attracting visionaries like Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Gloria Steinem. By studying international relations, you'll find your political voice through panel discussions, local politics, and student council. Content in the current International Relations major will become a track within the Political Science major beginning in Fall 2024, pending approval.
