Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, University Professor at Alliant and namesake of the school, is a world authority on Leadership.

Marshall exemplifies the bridge between theory and practice; he helps successful leaders achieve positive changes in behavior to make themselves, their teams and organizations stronger.

Bachelor of Arts in International Relations The two-year B.A. completion program in International Relations prepares students for work in government, public affairs, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. The program teaches students key theories, concepts, ideas and issues in international affairs. The program exposes students to the many political systems and societies across the globe, to some of the critical and contentious issues in international politics, and to a number of important themes being addressed by today’s global leaders. The program enhances students’ analytical skills, teaches students to think critically, and helps sharpen students’ written and oral communication capacities. The program also encourages specialized internships and offers study abroad opportunities. After completing the B.A. in International Relations, many of our students choose to pursue more specialized post-graduate studies in international relations, political science and other related disciplines.

Master of Arts in International Relations The Marshall Goldsmith School of Management’s Master of Arts program in International Relations (MAIR) prepares students for careers such as government, diplomacy, business, consulting, journalism, and further academic study. Students
