Boston University
International Affairs Association

Founded in 1973, The Boston University International Affairs Association, or BUIAA, is BU’s preeminent undergraduate student organization on international affairs. BUIAA focuses on promoting diplomacy, hosting cultural dialogue, and working to encourage international education outside the classroom.

BUIAA proudly hosts a number of affiliate organizations, including the International Relations Review — a premiere undergraduate research journal— BU's UNA-USA Chapter, SUN— a forum for learning and discussing global issues— and various constituent programs relating to Model United Nations, including BarMUN, BosMUN, and MUN@BU. As one of the largest and most varied organizations on BU's campus, BUIAA has something to offer every student interested in international affairs, debate, politics, and beyond.
