Student Story
Laura Allende Castilla '26 headshot

Studying International Relations has shaped the way I see the world in ways I didn't fully appreciate until I entered the professional world. During college, I sometimes struggled to picture what kind of career I could pursue with an International Relations degree. Over time, I realized that one of its greatest strengths is precisely that it doesn't limit you to one career path. It gives you a much broader understanding of the world and helps you connect the dots between political, economic and social developments, allowing you to see the bigger picture behind different situations. Its greatest value is that it prepares you to understand and navigate a world that is constantly changing.
