国际关系专业范围广阔，很多学校都有自己的优势方向。有些着重于某一个系别，例如政治科学；有些则关注于交叉学科的研究，在不同的系别中有不同的要求。有些更偏重于量化研究，有些则不。

你需要先确定以后想做什么、更擅长什么，再来看看哪些学校有适合你的专业或方向，来做选择。你可以成为外交家、政客、分析家、或从事国际商务或国际法等相关工作。

#EducationUSA Talking Majors# - International Relations Major

An international relations major is a broad field, and many institutions have their own strengths in this field. Some house the major in one department such as political science; others may focus on interdisciplinary studies and have requirements across different departments. Some are more quantitative while others are not. Know what you want to do and what your strengths are. Then find which institutions offer that specialty or disciplinary approach before you apply! You could become a diplomat, a lobbyist, an analyst, or do work in international business and law.

For some potential careers in the field, look at Lehigh University’s list of careers in international affairs.
