Michelle’s Answer

Hey Gabriela! The answer to your question has a lot of layers but I will try to answer as best I can. The degree in general is not limited. You can work in non-profit, private sector, public sector, transnational businesses, and/or the federal or local government. Where you get your degree creates the type of learning you receive. Is the program focused more on international affairs? Is there sub program or classes that are focused on security? If you are truly gearing to becoming a FBI agent then taking classes or even having a certificate in security studies can help. Keep in mind that becoming a FBI agent from what I know they test your physical strength and eye sight and train you how to use a weapon. There are also special agents that specializes in for example foreign language that work for the FBI. Those people usually have a higher education to prove that they are capable. I understand this information is quite hefty but if you have a true desire to become a FBI agent with your degree, there are steps that you need to take and consider. Just know that your degree is certainly not limited and I suggest you keep exploring while you pursue your degree. You may just find something better than you were looking for. Good luck! international-studies

Karan’s Answer

You can go into any field with an International Relations degree. I have had peers enter careers in Intelligence, at the FBI, government agencies, the Department of State, finance, consulting, non-profits, teaching, medicine, law, you name it! The key thing that agencies look for is why you want to work there, whether you can learn quickly, whether you have taken a leadership role in college, and whether your skills align with the job. For an International Affairs major trying to work at the FBI, you could potentially pursue Intelligence Analyst positions for example.
