The academic core of the School of International and Public Affairs at Florida International University is comprised of four major departments with a combined faculty of more than 100 members.
The mission of the Department of Criminal Justice is to provide local, state, national, and international leadership on core issues related to crime and its control and to be recognized as a prominent center of research, scholarship, and teaching, with academic, theoretical, and direct policy relevance. The department is recognized both nationally and internationally as a leader in the field of criminal justice education, offering both bachelor’s and master’s degrees on-site and fully online, as well as criminal justice administration specialization in the doctoral program in public management.
The Department of Global and Sociocultural Studies unites the faculties of anthropology, geography, and sociology within an innovative program dedicated to exploring challenges of global scope—such as diverse forms of inequality, contested identities, migrations and diasporas, and nature-society relations—that define the contemporary world. The department’s undergraduate and graduate programs emphasize cross-disciplinary perspectives while acknowledging the unique contributions of disciplinary approaches.
Combining the traditional disciplinary strengths of Political Science with a multidisciplinary approach to the study of International Relations, the Department of Politics and International Relations offers rich undergraduate and graduate programs. The department comprises 34 nationally and internationally-recognized faculty with expertise that is not only geographic (in particular Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia) but also subfield (American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Theory).
The Department of Public Administration provides a professional education in public sector and nonprofit management by offering bachelors and masters degrees in public administration. The Department also offers a doctorate degree in public management. In addition to the full degrees, certificates are available in human resource policy and management and public management. The primary mission of the Department is to foster excellence in education, research, and practice.
