Programs and Objectives

The dual program prepares lawyers to understand the political, economic, social and cultural dynamics of international affairs preparing them for careers working for governments, international organizations and international non-government organizations and enhancing their ability to function as social justice lawyers in an increasingly globalized environment.
The MIA portion of the program, housed at the Colin Powell School on CCNY’s campus, focuses on core issues in international policy, including: theories of international relations; international political economy, international law & organization; and security.
