Careers in International Affairs COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog Prospective students often ask questions about the types experience we look for and the types of careers graduates of our programs pursue.   One great resource related to this topic is the book Careers in International Affairs. It is quite common for career services offices at colleges to carry the book so if you are still in school I would recommend dropping by to see if it is available. If not, ask them to order it.   If you are out of school you might check public libraries or it is available in book or digital form via Amazon.com.   Below is the very robust table of contents it is a great book no matter your age or experience level.
