1 Migration Studies Course Programs in North America

The M.A. Program in International Migration Studies at the Graduate Center prepares students for growing and exciting opportunities to work with and advocate on behalf of international migrants and refugees. Today, 250 million people live outside their countries of birth — 43 million in the United States alone. These migrants and their children are reshaping the social, cultural, economic, and political life of their new host societies, while also creating unprecedented levels of ethnic, racial, and religious diversity in immigrant-receiving nations around the world. Nowhere is this more apparent than in super-diverse global cities like New York. Understanding the causes and effects of international migration is now more important than ever.
