Overview

An undergraduate international policy degree is not essential for admission. SPIA is much more concerned with an applicant’s capacity for graduate study, demonstrated by the quality of previous academic work and professional experience, and their commitment to an international career.

Key Features

However, applicants must exhibit research ability, have a strong foundation in economics, and demonstrate competence in a second language.

Students in the Global Policy program at The University of Maine may choose a concentration in either Environmental Policy, Security and Foreign Policy, Trade and Commerce, or Climate Policy.

Programme Structure
