The the simple answer is yes. As I said, we have designed these online programs to mirror what it is that we offer in a similar program on campus. And that's for both public policy, and for international relations. And as a matter of fact, I would say for international relations, or sorry for international public policy, even more so, as Leslie, made the point for me, Half of the program for international public policy is international relations, and half of the program is public policy. Cases, concepts, and theories.
So to work in reverse order and go to the first part of the question, in terms of careers and career progression, What what I would say is that the benefit of a master's degree for those of you who already have some working knowledge of geopolitics, have some working knowledge politics.
This is really a specialization. You have an opportunity to, at the end of the four modules that you undertake, in which you will focus very clearly on theories and concepts that underlie both disciplines or underpin both disciplines, you will also have an opportunity to work with a supervisor, on an independent research project. And that independent research project, the dissertation ends up in a sense being your calling card, your way of demonstrating to potential employers and to the world that you have decided to specialize in this particular area of two there, one one or the other of a very known discipline.
So in my world, I see think tanks potentially coming up as one of the alternatives to that. Certainly, alternative, alternative reporters, I think are gonna play a bigger role. All all that to say, what I think is changing in short is that there's a little bit of a shifting in terms of who we trust and why. And I think that, students who get a really solid basis in this area have an opportunity to fill that gap sure.
