Master of Arts in Liberal & Professional Studies




International Studies 




The Master of Arts in Liberal and Professional Studies (MALPS) with a specialization in International Studies is oriented towards career professionals and recent college graduates with life experiences.  The International Studies track is a balanced, multidisciplinary program that leads to an understanding of public and global economic policies combined with a well-rounded exposure to world issues and the affairs of nations.  In their studies, students will explore unfolding current events and international developments related to important geographic regions, key foreign governments, and major issues that touch the lives of Americans. Importantly, students will also learn the historical development of these countries and issues, vital to acquiring an accurate perspective on--and meaningful context of--today’s world.  These studies will be melded with courses that highlight global diversity and the impact of multiple factors in international affairs, including classes in ethnicity, nationality, culture, and gender.  

The prospective student should bear in mind that while the International Studies track constitutes a focus on world events, global economics, and public policy, there is more to the program.  Four core courses emphasizing research, communications skills, and critical thinking, along with the opportunity to develop personal leadership skills, will prepare the student not only to meet the challenge of studying complex, inter-related issues but, upon graduation, to utilize effectively the knowledge gained in the MALPS program.  Upon graduation, the successful student will be intellectually equipped to meet the challenges of a career in which  knowledge and understanding of global issues and public policy is essential.  

For more information about the International Studies track in MALPS, you may contact Dr. William J. Daugherty, track coordinator, by e-mail at daughewi@mail.armstrong.edu or by telephone at 912-961-3078.  Dr. Daugherty is associate professor of government in the Department of Criminal Justice, Social and Political Science.
