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.
