Johns Hopkins International Studies Nanjing Center Graduate Programs (SAIS)

Info Session: Wednesday, October 31, 4:00 p.m., SCC 217, PO

SAIS enrolls about 550 full-time students (approximately one-third of whom are from overseas) with 300 graduating each year from the two-year Master of Arts program in international relations.

A one-year course of study leading to the Master of International Public Policy (M.I.P.P.) degree serves mid-career professionals in government and business from the United States and foreign countries.

Programs at SAIS are multidisciplinary and offer both functional and regional studies. All international issues have an economic component within the curriculum and therefore the school requires all students to take extensive coursework in international economics. The curriculum provides students with a thorough understanding of theory and history as well as superior analytical and practical skills. Students enjoy great leeway in designing their own courses of study, but each must demonstrate a knowledge of the basic, or "core," elements of international affairs and must pass a comprehensive examination in international economics as well as a second field of study, chosen from among regional and functional fields.
