The program prepares students to pursue careers as intelligence specialist, diplomats, foreign service officer, foreign affairs analyst, foreign affairs specialist, foreign service officer, immigration specialist, market research analyst or an archivist demographer, among others. The International Relations program is designed to advance the professional development of experienced international relations graduates and professionals in the international relations arena by extending their knowledge and equipping them with broad research and process international relations skills, enabling them to make a key leadership contribution to their chosen fields.
(CSUNY)’s Doctorate degree in International Relations goes one step further by allowing students to study and research multiple key areas of computer science to develop a unique foundation of practical knowledge and computer science theory.
Your (CSUNY) Distance Learning Doctorate program in International Relations will be a custom-made program, designed just for you by you and your advisor. This flexibility to meet your needs is seldom found in other distance learning programs. Our program does not require every student to study the same subjects and use the same books and other learning materials as every other student. Instead our online Doctoral programs are designed just for you. They are individually designed to meet your needs and help you to reach your professional and personal goals.

By no means is it a complete or required list as (CSUNY) programs do not follow a standardized curriculum. It is meant solely as a reference point and example.
