Abstract
This article presents a prescriptive curriculum design for a new masters of Arts program in international studies with a concentration in international security and a specialization in international terrorism for an international studies MA program. Picking up from an earlier empirical study that conducted and analyzed an extensive needs assessment, this work offers detailed recommendations for curriculum, instruction, assessment, and program evaluation aspects of this graduate program. Likewise, this paper features course descriptions, recommended textbooks and other requirements for this course of study. Reflecting on this effort to establish a serious graduate program in international studies, this research asserts a significant program of study and provides a rich proposal for those seeking to inaugurate a similar effort.
Key words: Program development, curriculum and instruction design, international studies and security studies.
