The Department of Government and Politics, Graduate Division of St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Science, offers students the opportunity to complete their M.A. Government and Politics degree with a focus on International Relations at the university’s Rome campus.

At our Rome campus, we offer the unique cultural resources of a great European capital combined with the world-class courses and faculty of St. John’s. Students will become experts in composing policy briefs and reports, drafting and evaluating project proposals, resolutions, and public statements, as well as completing in depth evaluations of global events and trends.

Graduates holding a master’s degree in government and politics are well-suited to a wide array of career opportunities: from a policy-making career in the Civil or Foreign Service, to a position at the United Nations, a policy think-tank, an international NGO, a major multi-national corporation, or a dynamic start-up in positions of political or administrative responsibility. Recent alumni have secured positions within federal agencies, the US Senate, the CIA, NGOs, major corporations, as well as media conglomerates.

Students are also able to complete a Certificate in International Law and Diplomacy, which can be obtained independently or as a complement to the Master’s degree.

Rolling Deadline: Master of Arts in Government and Politics - Rome Campus

Still daydreaming about that study abroad experience you had during your undergraduate studies? Or perhaps you didn't have that opportunity and instead are wondering "what if?" Well, that's all the more reason to study in Rome as a St. John's University Graduate Student. 

Students in the graduate programs at SJU's Rome campus have the best of both worlds - earning an American degree while living in a major European center of government, politics, international organizations, and multinational corporations. Students benefit from small class sizes and distinguished faculty - all faculty members in the Masters of Arts program hold doctoral degrees and come from the New York campus. 

The 33 credit Master of Arts in Government and Politics at SJU brings students from around the world to analyze international relations issues in an ideal setting: Rome, Italy. This program prepares students for an array of opportunities in the civil or foreign services, positions of political or administrative responsibility in the public or private sectors, careers in education, or for further study pursing doctoral degrees or law students. We accept applicants on a rolling admission basis; once your application and other necessary documents are received, we will forward them to the appropriate department for review.

Additional Rome programs include MBA Finance, MBA International Business, MBA Marketing Management, and MA Museum Administration. For more information about the programs and majors offered at St. John's University, visit us on the web.
