Learn About WVU’s Transatlantic Dual-Degree Master’s Program at Upcoming Information Session

Students are invited to learn more about WVU’s Transatlantic Master of Arts in International History and Security Studies, a dual-degree program offered jointly by West Virginia University and Civitas University in Warsaw, Poland, at an info session on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. in 101 Chitwood Hall.

During the event, Dr. Katarzyna Maniszewska from Civitas University and former students will share insights about the program and share their experiences.

The Transatlantic Master’s program is a two-year, dual-degree program in which students complete coursework at both WVU and Civitas University to earn master’s degrees in History from WVU and in International Relations from Civitas. The curriculum emphasizes interdisciplinary study in international history, relations, and security, with courses focusing on topics such as European Union policy, terrorism, energy security, and diplomacy.

Students pay tuition and fees only at their home institution and may apply for scholarships, assistantships, and other funding to help support study abroad costs.
