What electives should students take?
Generally, students should take the electives in which they are most interested. However, it would be a good idea for students to take at least one class that focuses on security issues (i.e., National Security Affairs, Military Strategy and IR, Terrorism and Political Violence, or a Seminar in IR on a relevant topic), and one or two that focus on the instruments of IR (i.e., International Organization, International Law, International Power and Influence, or a Seminar in IR on a relevant topic).
