The APSIA Career Guide offers an overview of different international affairs careers. Each section contains a high-level summary of a field, as well as example employers. It has tips and a look at some of the skills necessary to enter the field (in order of importance for each topic). Finally, it provides ways to continue learning.
The information provided here is far from an exhaustive. Some employers could be listed in more than one category, even though they will only appear once. We encourage you to go beyond our Guide using the suggested additional resources, as well as Google, Indeed, LinkedIn, your school’s career office and alumni network, and other tools.
A graduate degree can transform you in a more effective agent of change in the world. We hope this Guide helps you explore the many opportunities provided by a professional international affairs degree.
