Graduate School Forum

Inside the classroom and out, international affairs and public policy graduate schools prepare students for a long tenure of professional service. Students master underlying principles of an ever-changing world. They leverage their training to successful careers in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. These programs blend broad preparation in critical thinking, quantitative analysis, public communications, project management, and teamwork with deep regional, cultural, and economic expertise. This powerful combination distinguishes international affairs degrees from other professional programs. It provides the flexibility and knowledge to navigate the changes expected in the workforce of the future and supplies the tools to understand and explain the historical, social, commercial, and political dynamics, which influence current and emerging actors.
