The MA Program in United Nations and Global Policy Studies at Rutgers University is structured as a Master’s degree for students and professionals who seek to enhance their understanding of global affairs. The Rutgers University MA program in United Nations and Global Policy (UNMA) serves as a complement to professional degrees in fields of law, gender studies, public health, labor studies and international relations. With the increased emphasis on global finance and economics, public health, climate change, energy, and sustainable development, the UNMA program fills the growing demand for experts who possess the theoretical and applied knowledge required to address these issues. Therefore, students can enroll in the UNMA on a full-time or part-time basis, thus spending 2-4 years to complete the necessary 36 credit (12 courses) for the MA degree. The M.A. program in United Nations and Global Policy Studies prides itself on the diversity of its student body that includes recent college graduates, mid-career and young professionals and members of NGOs—who wish to enrich their engagement with global public policy and United Nations studies.
