The SF State Scholars program provides undergraduate students with an accelerated pathway to a graduate degree, and the Department of International Relations offers two: one for current International Relations majors to complete a M.A. in International Relations and the other that blends the B.A. in Criminal Justice with the M.A. in International Relations.
About the Offered Blended Programs
Overview
The International Relations SF State Scholars Blended program allows for current IR undergraduate majors to complete a M.A. in International Relations with one additional year of study. In a combined program, students take up to 15 units of graduate classes while completing their B.A. degree and finish their M.A. degree in one additional year. The program enables students to spread the challenge of an M.A. over their undergraduate and graduate careers so that they use their time and money wisely toward an education that will enhance their career prospects.
