Global Programs
Global programs allow students to gain direct experience in the international, professional world. These programs are integral to students who seek international employment, whether in law, economics, non-profits, the private sector, or any other field where exposure to the international realm is a competitive advantage.
Students pursuing the MAIR degree are expected to spend only two semesters on campus, and then finish their education by either 1) utilizing our global programs, 2) completing an independent global internship or 3) a combination of 1 and 2.
Videos of presentations and interviews from past program participants are available at https://video.syr.edu/channel/Max%2BEXL/187876873.

Internship Resources
