Courses

Technology transforms society. Public and private sector collaboration has the potential to activate climate solutions or improve nuclear security. Innovation can bring societies economic prosperity and help them prevent the next pandemic.

Learn how to evaluate these problems and identify dynamic solutions with Fletcher’s interdisciplinary Technology and International Affairs field of study. Examine questions of global security through the lens of both international relations and scientific and technological innovation. Grapple with the nuances of internet and energy policy and explore the ways that scientific developments have altered the global landscape, learning how to harness their potential to resolve international disputes and forge new diplomatic relations.

Students are given the opportunities to focus in one of the following three subfields, by choosing between Cyber Policy, International Information and Communication, and Technology and Sustainable Development.
