International Relations

International Relations at the College of William and Mary is a thriving program that integrates teaching, research, study abroad, foreign language, and close interaction among students and faculty from different disciplines.

The program promotes the systematic study of political, economic, and historic relations among states and other actors in the international system. Students and faculty explore the interactions among states, markets, and non-state actors (such as international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, multinational corporations, and terrorist networks).
