पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This M and S concentration provides students access to some of the most innovative research in international studies. M and S arose as a field of study in response to three complementary trends over the last twenty years. First, the various economic, demographic, cultural and technological processes of globalization have given rise to a range of transnational phenomena that increasingly occur outside the territorial confines of nation-states. The growth of such transnational phenomena has given rise to an important second trend: the growing recognition among scholars of international studies of the inadequacy of traditional levels and methods of analysis predicated upon the territorial logic of sovereign states. Scholars today increasingly seek to develop new methods of analysis. The third trend--the explosive growth of affordable and powerful micro computing--has equipped researchers with a range of new technologies and methods to understand contemporary international and global phenomena. Together, these three trends have synthesize the field of M and S in international studies. The M and S in international studies concentration provides the students with an education in the most innovative methods in the field. Students can choose to specialize in methods as diverse as statistics, game theory, agent-based modeling, geographic information sciences, and network analysis. These fields reflect the Hampton Roads area's emergence as a global leader in the modeling and simulation industry. Local M and S firms, government and military employers in the region, and the proximity of Washington, DC (just three hours away) all provide internship and job opportunities for students who specialize in M and S.
