Student review [#37028]
for International Affairs
at American University - AU
Washington, D.C., United States
Good quality academics, graduate international business and political science and DC – Facilities are quite modern. I think they’re pretty good overall. The library is small, although students have access to a wider variety of resources through interlibrary loan, the library’s subscription to online databases, and the Library of Congress.
Academic programs are generally of good quality and nationally recognized. International Studies and Political Science are the two largest, best, and well-known courses, but other disciplines are also fair. Just because UA is a small private school, some departments less related to politics/international affairs can become quite small – like physics.
Unique opportunities would certainly be DC’s political scene. Many events, conferences, demonstrations, embassy events, etc. The UA allows ambassadors and other U.S. and foreign government officials and non-government employees to speak quite often at the school. Internships during the academic semesters as well as during the summer are another big, big plus.
