These types of courses are pretty normal for any degree in “International” anything. Reminds me a lot of the course selection I had for my International Affairs degree

Tbf, at first I thought the course choices I had for that degree were strange, too

Global Studies, maybe, but most International Relations/Affairs align with a less holistic and sociocultural approach and more political science-based (think FSO/FAO or diplomat-focused).

I know its a small school so they probably just threw some electives together and called it good.
It's not an International Relations/Affairs degree. Relations/Affairs is nowhere in the title. It is a "Studies" degree.
Okay... It's intentionally vague to allude to International Affairs/Relations.

Using Global and International in the same degree title is absurdly redundant if international affairs is not in the proposed content of the program.

I agree that they should choose one or the other. It is serendipitous for me however perusing through their pages time-to-time and seeing more programs open up for students. I'm quite content with UMPI's growth both in student body via YourPace and the amount of degrees being offered.
