UVA’s BA in Foreign Affairs prepares students for leadership in global politics, diplomacy, and international policy. The program covers international relations theory, comparative politics, security studies, and global governance. Students examine power dynamics, state behavior, human rights, and transnational issues such as climate change, migration, and global health. With options for language study, study abroad, and policy internships, students develop a nuanced understanding of world affairs and strong analytical skills.
