How rigorous is an international relations major and what is it like?

<p>I’m very interested in the field of foreign affairs and international relations. At top schools like Georgetown, JHU, UCB, UChicago, and even prestigious schools like Harvard, Stanford, UPenn what is a student life like for an international relations major. Is it a lot of essay writing and reading, or are there more practical/hands on learning, like debates and traveling. Also, how are the job prospects. Do most grads find work after college? If so, what are the job prospects?</p>

<p>~~To clarify, my question is regarding undergrad studies</p>
