Congratulations – you’ve nearly finished your undergraduate education and that is a major achievement! But now what? What to do next? How exactly does one land that first job in the field of “international relations”? Actually, what even is “international relations”? Is it just diplomacy? What else does it involve? Can I do “international affairs” in the private sector? Should I get a graduate degree to be competitive in the field? Are their paid professional development opportunities that I can pursue after finishing my BA? What is the best path forward? Prof. Williams, from Syracuse University, will answer these questions and more!
