The
International Relations Program was created in 1981 to provide Mount
Holyoke students an interdisciplinary course of study for an increasingly
interdependent world. As the founders of the program observed: "Internationalism
has been woven into the very warp and woof of Mount Holyoke from
the beginning." In establishing the program, "we have
sought to approach international relations not as parochial expertise
or dry science, but as a human subject of great complexity and richness,including
in its mosaic varied approaches to history, religion, science,psychology,
politics, language, culture-in short, varied world views."
Today,
the I.R. Program is one of Mount Holyoke's largest majors. Its graduates
are pursuing careers in public service, academia, law, journalism,
business, and many other fields throughout the world.
