The International Relations Program is based at Trinity College and has offices in the Munk School of Global Affairs. The International Relations Program offers University of Toronto undergraduates an interdisciplinary course of study that emphasizes the history, politics and economics of international relations. Particular emphasis is given to the role of Canada as an international actor.
Courses examine the origins, development and expansion of the international state system and international institutions, political, economic, and humanitarian. Much of the teaching is done by practitioners -- people with experience as professional diplomats or in international agencies. The Program is also the host of the very successful G8/G20 research group. There is a range of in-course and graduation scholarships available to international Relations students; and since 2000 there have been three Rhodes Scholars chosen from the Program.
