An IR degree is a great stepping stone toward a number of exciting opportunities. Many of our graduates have gone on to graduate school, where they have studied in program such as Political Science, Law, and International Relations. Other graduates have chosen international opportunities following graduation, including internships which have taken them to countries such as Romania, Sierra Leone, and Nicaragua. Read some letters and notes from graduates who have chose to pursue either graduate school or international opportunities. |
Graduate School Keleigh Annau Keleigh Annau was accepted by not one, but four, of the most prestigious universities in the world. "I heard back from Berkeley first, then the next week was Harvard, then Oxford and Columbia back to back," she says. "I never imagined I would get into my top four. I didn't really believe it." Annau says she kept rereading the acceptance letters to make sure she hadn't read them wrong. She is currently completing a Master's in public policy, with a concentration in environment and sustainability.
Now at England’s University of Oxford taking a Master’s
of Philosophy in Comparative “My area of particular interest is Middle Eastern religion, politics, and culture. As an interdisciplinary program, international relations has proven to be a perfect way to investigate theseareas and the connections that exist between them. I hope to pursue a career in the foreign service or non-governmental organizations, and look forward to a life that allows me to continue to learn about new people, places, and cultures.” To read more about Susan, please click on the link below: Susan Humphrey making her mark at Oxford
Christina Macleod As I am now fully into my master's program I realize how amazing our international relations program is and what amazing educational and experience opportunities we have access to. So if my write up could help to support the program or get more students interested that would be great.

Politics, with a Rhodes Scholarship
valued at more than $100,000.
I
am currently completing my Masters in International Relations and
Human Rights at the University of Auckland in New Zealand's north
island. It is an intensive course, which incorporates master's course
work and a thesis. The undergrad program at Mount Allison, under
Dr. Legler, provides a great extensive theoretical and practical
background of international relations. With the new interdisplinary
program, it sets Mount Allison IR students above other students
that have been forced to focus on just one of the essential aspects
of international relations. With the rise of globalization and global
interconnectedness through problems such as human rights and the
environment, one needs to be equipped with tools from political
science, economics, environmental studies, history and language.
My honors in international relations at Mount Allison gave me the
tools that allowed me to continue my research and be a top student
in international relations. The opportunities that Mount Allison
has given through the Leadership Mt. A program were extremely beneficial
for taking the theories and lessons from the lecture theatre to
the real world. I am thoroughly grateful for the opportunities and
education I received at Mount Allison and am excited to take on
the world.
