Program Information : Career Information

Students are often interested in the types of careers they can pursue as an ISCOR graduate. ISCOR students have been accepted into a variety of careers in the public, private and non-profit sectors. For example, recent graduates currently work as a refugee resettlement social worker, a mediator for a mediation center, an intelligence analyst for the U.S. Government, a diplomat for the U.S. State Department, a staff member for an environmental lobbying group, a pilot for the U.S. Air Force, a fundraiser for a humanitarian organization providing medical supplies and low-cost housing in Russia, a missionary working in Guatemala, and a Navy S.E.A.L. operating in Afghanistan. Many other students have gone on to study at some of the best graduate schools and law schools in the United States and in other countries.

The diversity of these career paths illustrates the strength of SDSU's Bachelor of Arts degree in ISCOR. Our graduates gain a interdisciplinary knowledge of world affairs and the ability to apply this knowledge in the real world. They are required to learn a foreign language, to conduct independent and original research, to engage in critical thinking, to study and live in other nations, and to gain work experience in international affairs and conflict resolution in the public, private or non-profit sectors.

The ISCOR Faculty will assist and advise students in their career pursuits, so students should not hesitate to ask them for guidance. Additionally, SDSU's Career Services office assists students with career planning and information.
