专业介绍

The MS in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies is the first program of its kind in the United States. It offers students the chance to study the causes and consequences of forced migration and gives them hands-on experience of working with area organizations like Refugee One and the Heartland Alliance. Forced migrants – including refugees, internally displaced people, and climate refugees – are growing in numbers; the UNHCR estimates that there are 45.2 million people displaced all over the world. Syria, Colombia, Pakistan, Turkey, Uganda, Somalia, Afghanistan – these are all familiar news stories. This degree places forced migration and refugee studies in concrete historical, global, and human contexts and seek durable responses to the protracted and harrowing crises of forced migration.
