\n New Fields \u2013 Fall 2026!\n <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n \n \n\n

We\u2019re streamlining our program so you can focus on what matters most: building expertise, exploring your interests, and graduating with confidence in your skill set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For students admitted in Fall 2026, the number of NPSIA fields will be reduced from EIGHT (8) to <\/strong>FOUR<\/strong> (4) <\/strong>\u2014 merging overlapping areas to create stronger, more coherent options. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at 杏吧原创 University is proud to offer four fields of study and these are described below. Led by expert faculty in the area, these fields provide students with specialized interdisciplinary training and skills which provide further expertise for jobs in the public, private or non-governmental sector, or to take further postgraduate or professional degrees.
Students who wish to obtain the Field designation are required to complete the minimum number of field courses as outlined by their program requirements, and their required economics field course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
