What Faculty Are Saying

"I have taught international relations online for the past four years, and it has been an amazing experience for both me and my students. I have been teaching international relations for 40 years, and doing it online has reenergized my approach to and perspective of world politics. With a touch of their fingertips, my students can peruse the world's media, watch a meeting of the UN Security Council, or participate in the experimental online war studies program at King's College London. Teaching international relations online has opened up opportunities for my students which never existed before."

Robert Weiner, Boston International Relations
