The Master of International Policy (MIP) at the University of Georgia provides advanced training in strategic trade, human security, energy security, and nonproliferation.

The program is dedicated to preparing a select group of students for careers across a range of US government agencies, international organizations, nonprofits, think tanks, and consultancies.  The MIP’s distinct applied, policy-oriented approach provides instruction from leading international relations scholars and security experts and is enhanced by interaction with government and industry leaders and a variety of experiential opportunities. 

Applicants admitted to the MIP program join a community of loyal alumni, current and former policy practitioners, and faculty and staff dedicated to the professional development of future security-policy leaders.

The program seeks applicants with backgrounds in science, engineering, economics, political science, and international affairs. 

"The MIP single handedly changed the course of my career path and aspirations. The substantive content I learned in the program in addition to the ability to work closely with faculty at the Center for International Trade and Security (CITS) shaped my interests. Once I knew what I wanted to do, our faculty were invaluable in my job placement. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the MIP program and faculty at CITS."
