Graduate School of International Studies The Graduate School of International Studies is a graduate-level institution specializing in international affairs, diplomacy, and transnational policy studies. It offers professional and research degrees aimed at preparing students for roles in foreign service, multilateral organizations, and international non-governmental organizations. The school maintains connections with ministries, diplomatic missions, international courts, and global financial institutions.
The school was founded amid postwar reconstruction and Cold War realignments, drawing influence from institutions such as League of Nations, United Nations, Council of Europe, NATO, and OECD in its early curricular design; subsequent reforms referenced models from Harvard Kennedy School, London School of Economics, Columbia University, Sciences Po, and Johns Hopkins University to expand graduate offerings. During periods shaped by the Yom Kippur War, Iranian Revolution, Fall of the Berlin Wall, Rwandan Genocide, and 9/11 attacks the school revised programs to address humanitarian intervention, counterterrorism, transitional justice, and global health, paralleling initiatives at the International Criminal Court, World Health Organization, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank. Expansion phases included partnerships inspired by exchanges with United Nations University, European Union External Action Service, ASEAN Secretariat, African Union, and Organization of American States, while campus developments invoked donor relationships reminiscent of gifts to Oxford University, Cambridge University, Yale University, and Princeton University.
Degree tracks encompass Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Public Administration, and doctoral programs modeled after curricula at Georgetown University, Australian National University, University of Tokyo, Peking University, and Russian Academy of Sciences; concentrations range across diplomacy, international security, human rights, development studies, trade policy, and global health policy. Joint and dual degrees mirror collaborations with Law School, Business School, School of Public Health, School of Economics, and professional programs akin to those at Stanford University, Brown University, University of Chicago, and National University of Singapore. Specialized executive education and certificate series reflect frameworks used by World Bank Institute, International Monetary Fund Institute, United Nations Institute for Training and Research, and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Admissions policies consider academic records, language proficiency, professional experience, and recommendations in formats similar to selection processes at Fulbright Program, Rhodes Scholarship, Marshall Scholarship, Chevening Scholarship, and Erasmus Mundus; standardized tests referenced include models like the GRE General Test and language examinations analogous to TOEFL and IELTS. Financial aid offerings combine merit-based fellowships, need-based grants, and external funding channels linked to entities such as Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Open Society Foundations, Gates Foundation, and national scholarship programs administered by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Development Cooperation Agency, and sovereign funds.
Research centers address issues aligned with mandates of United Nations Development Programme, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, World Trade Organization, International Labour Organization, and Food and Agriculture Organization; thematic labs focus on conflict resolution, climate diplomacy, digital governance, and migration studies, engaging with projects related to Paris Agreement, Kyoto Protocol, Copenhagen Summit, Montreal Protocol, and Sustainable Development Goals. Publication outlets and policy briefs draw on peer networks connected to International Crisis Group, Chatham House, Brookings Institution, RAND Corporation, and Center for Strategic and International Studies, while hosted conferences have featured participants from European Commission, ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meetings, African Union Summit, G20, and APEC.
Faculty profiles include former diplomats, scholars, and practitioners with backgrounds in institutions such as United Nations Security Council, International Court of Justice, European Court of Human Rights, World Bank Group, and International Monetary Fund; visiting professors have come from universities like Princeton University, Yale University, University of Oxford, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, and Tsinghua University. Leadership teams have included deans and directors who previously served in roles at Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Central Bank, Supreme Court, Ambassadorial Corps, and major think tanks including Council on Foreign Relations and German Marshall Fund.
Student organizations emulate professional networks such as Model United Nations, Amnesty International, Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and Transparency International chapters; experiential learning includes internships with Embassy of the United States, European External Action Service, International Committee of the Red Cross, United Nations Children's Fund, and multinational corporations like Goldman Sachs and Google. Career placement metrics report alumni employment across diplomatic services, multilateral agencies, international tribunals, non-governmental organizations, and corporations, reflecting recruitment patterns similar to UN Secretariat, World Bank Group, Asian Development Bank, African Development Bank, and Interpol.
The school maintains institutional agreements and student-exchange programs with partners such as University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Sciences Po, National University of Singapore, University of Tokyo, Peking University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Pontifical Gregorian University, and regional organizations including ASEAN, African Union, European Commission, OAS, and Gulf Cooperation Council. Collaborative research and policy initiatives have been co-sponsored by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, World Health Organization, World Trade Organization, International Criminal Court, and multinational foundations like Ford Foundation and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
