The Tufts IR Program affords students many
opportunities and
scholarships to conduct
original research in international relations. Research can greatly
enhance your experience at Tufts, challenging you to critically
apply what you have learned as you explore 'real-world' questions
in the field of international relations.
Every IR major will complete a senior seminar
research paper OR conduct research for an
Honors Thesis or
Directed
Research Project. However, the possibilities for incorporating
original research into your Tufts experience don't end there!
The IR Program offers:
- Two research scholarships that
enable students to travel, intern, volunteer and/or perform research abroad.
- An online international
research community that is a support tool to help students conduct research
on international issues, particularly while abroad. The IRN guides students
through the process of conducting international research toward the successful
completion of capstone research projects by providing them with an online
toolbox of resources and a network to connect with faculty and their peers.
- Web-based Research Colloquium
that is a two-course sequence to prepare students for conducting research on
international topics while studying abroad. The colloquium provides instruction,
both classroom and Web-based, research training, and support for students to
conduct research while abroad, to connect with the abroad community, and to
prepare for substantive research production in the senior year and beyond.
In addition, Hemispheres,
the Tufts Journal of International Affairs, and
NIMEP Insights (New Initiative for
Middle East Peace) offer students the opportunity to publish the results of
their original research.
