GSPIAs Washington Connection has three components: a new center

offering services to GSPIA students and alumni, a semester-long program

of study, and a network of alumni in scores of offices throughout the

nations capital.

The Washington Center2025 M Street NW

GSPIAs office in the new University of Pittsburgh Washington Center

is located just a short walk from Dupont Circle. The Washington Center

features videoconferencing capabilities that connect our D.C.-based staff,

GSPIA students may apply to work in the Washington Center while

studying or conducting research in D.C.

The Washington Semester

The Washington Semester program provides GSPIA students with an

opportunity to spend a fall semester attending classes in Washington, D.C.

Most students also fulfill their internship requirement in a government

agency, a nonprofit organization, or a corporation while there.

The Washington Semester program is offered in partnership with Syracuse

Universitys Maxwell School and the University of Denvers Josef Korbel

School of International Studies.

The GSPIA Alumni Network in D.C.

More than 1,000 GSPIA alumni are employed in Washington, D.C., and

nearly half of our students take their first job there after graduation.

Faculty and staff both in Pittsburgh and at the Washington Center assist

students in making connections to our many prominent D.C. alumni who

can facilitate the search for internships and jobs.

You have a bachelors degree and at least a couple yearsof relevant work experience. Maybe you have spent timein a different culture. Maybe your job experience in-

volves global policy, international economics, or other inter-

national matters. You have seen enough to know you wantmore than just a job with travel opportunities: you are yearn-ing to pursue an internationally oriented career.

So, what next?Grad school is probably in the cards. If a job requires 5 to

10 years of work experience, chances are it also requires a mas-ters degree, says Leigh Morris Sloane, executive director ofthe Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs

(APSIA). A masters degree makes it easier to get into an inter-

esting career and to advance in it.

Although its possible to enter the U.S.

Foreign Service, for example, with a bach-

elors degree, having a relevant mastersdegree can help you enter at a higher level.

In 1980, average earnings of Ameri-

cans with a graduate degree were about

50 percent higher than earnings of those

with only an undergraduate degree.

Now, the premium for a graduate degree

has grown to more than 100 percent, re-

port University of Chicago economists

Gary Becker and Kevin Murphy.

A MultidisciplinaryDegree

OK, graduate school; but what kind of

program?

If you want to practice law, theres

law school. If you want to focus on fi-

nance, marketing, or entrepreneurship,

an M.B.A. might be your cup of tea

especially if the program offers a con-

centration in international business. If

your interests are primarily academic,

youll find plenty of graduate programs

in politics, economics, international re-

lations, and other disciplines.

Fortunately, some universities offer a

broader degree with a decidedly profes-

sional and international focus. Its usu-

ally called international affairs, but youmay find terms like global policy or

diplomacy in a programs title. Such

programs combine politics, economics,

business, cultural studies, and related

fields. They aim to provide a practical,

employable educational experience.

Whether you focus on policy, diplomacy,

national security, international trade,

economic development, human rights,

or a particular region of the world, the

goal is to pursue a career. The program

lets you build professional skills and gain

access to internships and job networks.

Although undergraduate studies in

politics, history, or economics can stimu-

late your interest in international affairs

and provide some good background, your

undergraduate major is generally less im-

portant for admission than your grades

and Graduate Record Examination (GRE)

scores. Relevant work experience can also

be helpful. Language skills or internship

experience pertaining to a region of the

world that you choose to focus on can be

helpful, but its not required.

Traditional full-time international af-

fairs programs generally require two

years of study and attract students in

their late 20s who aim to launch a new

career. For opportunities to continue in

your current job while pursuing a mas-

ters degree, see Part-Time and Mid-

Career Programs, page 25.

Multiple Career Paths

Flexibility is a key attraction of interna-

tional affairs programs. Although most

programs have mandatory core courses

in economics and other fundamentals,

you also choose a functional specialty

and a regional specialty. For example,

you might specialize in international trade

and Asia, national security and Europe, in-

ternational development and Africa, or

human rights and the Middle East.

Public policy schools are also increas-

ing their international affairs offerings

because, in a global economy, matters of

public policy are often matters of globalpolicy. Princeton Universitys Woodrow

Wilson School of Public Policy and In-

ternational Affairs offers a Master in Pub-

lic Affairs degree with a concentration in

International Relations as well as a con-

centration in Development Studies.

Global policy is the fastest-growing

concentration in our Master of Public

Policy degree, says Brian Atwood, dean

of the University of Minnesotas HubertH. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs.

He notes that about half the institutes

global policy students focus on foreign

policy and half focus on international de-

velopment. Duke Universitys Sanford

School of Public Policy also offers a Mas-

ter of Public Policy with a specialization

in global policy and a Master of Interna-

tional Development Policy. Harvard Uni-

versitys Kennedy School of Government

not only offers a Masters degree in Pub-

lic Administration/ International Devel-

opment, but the entire school explicitlyaims to train leaders who will effectively

shape public policy around the globe.

Many international affairs programs

offer dual degrees in international affairs

and law, business, public policy, or

health. There are growing opportunities

to combine international affairs with a

fast-growing field such as public health

or environmental studies.

The choices are generally wider than

you may find in a law or M.B.A. program.

Law and business graduates have a clearer

career path, notes APSIAs Sloane. Inter-national affairs is an interdisciplinary degree

with a flexible career. Rather than speeding

down a crowded career superhighway, you

may discover an interesting byway or forge

your own path in international affairs.

nomic development ranges from the cre-

ation of sound macro-economic and

medium enterprise to the introduction

or expansion of microfinance. It also in-

volves identifying and creating infra-

structure for economic growth by

might cause investors to lose money or

make less money than expected. Specific

causes of risk include government insta-

bility, currency inconvertibility, national-

ization, and expropriation. Land rightsissues and social conditions such as crime

levels and kidnappings may also play a

role. Political risk analysts typically

gather information on an area or country,

determine the causes and sources of

risks, and forward their findings to invest-

ment decision-makers. Analysts may also

be asked to prescribe risk management

solutions and offer recommendations to

clients who are hoping to invest in a spe-cific area of the world. Analysts may find

jobs with the political risk divisions of

large consulting and insurance compa-

nies, smaller financial companies, major

banks, international organizations, rating

services, energy firms, and online sites

specializing in the sale of political risk in-

formation. Rating agencies, lending insti-

tutions, and government organizations

such as the State Department use politi-cal risk specialists to perform in-depth

economic analyses. Analysts with more

general knowledge about countries, legal

systems, and business practices may find

employment with smaller consulting

companies that gather information, ana-

lyze it, and sell the findings.

Lobbying.Lobbyists monitor legisla-

tive and executive activities to influence

policy, legislation, regulations, or nego-tiations on behalf of governments, in-

dustries, specific companies, interest

groups, or constituencies.

International Security.Many intelli-

litical, military, and government leaders

can use in decision-making. The govern-

gional trade blocs and increased member-

ship in international trade organizations,

the impact of trade policy on business will

continue to increase. Trade policy and

Science, Technology, and Public Pol-

icy.This field focuses on interactions

among scientific developments, techno-

how individuals and groups understandthese interactions and apply their under-

standing to solve social, environmental,

Tuition and living expenses for a tradi-

tional, full-time graduate program in in-

ternational affairs can range from less

than $20,000 per year at a state univer-sity to more than $50,000 per year at a

leading private university. Financial aid,

graduate assistantships, and other finan-

cial help can reduce the amount you pay,

but many students still end up taking

out large loans.

Before you commit to a program,

find out what salary range is common

in your intended field. Check how

quickly the programs graduates have

gotten jobs and what salaries they are

finding jobs for its gradu-

ates. The school should

have its own career services

office and strong ties to an

alumni network.

Sometimes reputation

and rigor go hand in hand.

The two-year Master of Arts

in Law and Diplomacy pro-gram at the Fletcher School

at Tufts University in Boston

requires courses in quantita-

tive reasoning and econom-

ics in addition to law,

diplomacy, history, and poli-

tics. Students must also show profi-

ciency in a second language.

Most programs require courses in

economics, but some schools have more

stringent quantitative demands thanothers. To find a program that suits your

abilities and orientation, check the core

course requirements on a programs

Web site. You can also compare the pro-

files of APSIA member schools at

www.apsia.org.

The Patterson School of Law and

Diplomacy at the University of Ken-

tucky has limited course requirements

and encourages students to craft very

personalized programs. Beyond the

Many graduate programs are in-

ternational in scope, but only

some provide practical, experi-

ence that increases your employability.

At the masters level, most internationalaffairs programs focus on helping you

build professional skills and gain experi-

ence through internships. In addition to

the program offerings, youll want to

consider a schools reputation, rigor,

cost, and location.

earning. Figure out the monthly pay-

ments on any student loans you would

need, and compare the amount with

your job and salary expectations. You

want to choose the best program you

can get into without the risk of eventu-ally finding yourself in a financial bind.

Tuition and living expenses are often

relatively low for international affairs

programs outside the United States, but

you may qualify for more financial assis-

tance at a U.S. school. Tuition at Car-

leton Universitys renowned M.A. in

International Affairs program in Ot-

tawa, Ontario, is only about $7,800 for

U.S. students, thanks in part to favorableexchange rates. Youll also find low tu-

ition at the University of Ottawas three-

year-old Graduate School of Public and

International Affairs. Living expenses in

Ottawa, the Canadian capital, are lower

than in comparable U.S. cities, and U.S.

students in Canada may be eligible for

assistantships and campus jobs.Dont overlook schools where you

qualify for special cost breaks. At Seton

Hall Universitys Whitehead School of

Diplomacy and International Relations,

students are eligible for graduate assist-

antships, earning them full tuition re-

mission and a living stipend, as well as

merit based scholarships.

The Whitehead School also encour-

ages students to apply for Fulbright

Scholarships. Three of its graduate stu-dents have won Fulbright Scholarships

in recent years to study abroad after

completing their degrees, including one

who is now heading to Norway. In addi-

tion, two undergrads in Seton Halls

class of 2009 won Fulbright Scholar-

ships, which provide excellent experi-

ence for later graduate study.

portunities that dont require a Ph.D.,consult your school or the Washing-

Job prospects in international affairs

depend on the program as well as your

areas of focus. Opportunities in interna-

tional journalism and finance have seen re-

cent declines, while international securityis a growing field. Georgetown Univer-

sitys renowned School of Foreign Service

offers not only an M.S. in Foreign Service,

but also an M.A. in Security Studies. Johns

Hopkins University is offering a new, part-

time M.A. program in Global Security

Studies at its Washington, D.C. campus.

The program is designed for working pro-

fessionals who want to expand their ex-

pertise in identifying, assessing, andresponding to current security challenges.

Washington, D.C. and New York City

are the big power bases for international

relations jobs, so graduate programs in

those cities offer a distinct advantage.

Top schools in Boston and other cities,

however, provide strong connections to

those power bases through their career

services and alumni networking.

The University of Pittsburghs Grad-

uate School of Public and International

Affairs (GSPIA) offers not only a Wash-

ington Semester, but also a WashingtonCenter with career services, networking

for alumni, and D.C.-based adjunct fac-

ulty. We can provide the immediacy of

access to current senior managers to do

courses in D.C., and they also have their

You can remain in your job while

pursuing an international affairs

masters degree by enrolling in a

part-time program or a mid-career pro-

gram for professionals. And your em-

ployer might even help with tuition.

Programs range from online study to

evening classes to two-week residencies.

The Fletcher School of Law and

Diplomacys largest program is its full-

time Master of Arts in Law and Diplo-

macy, but the Fletcher School also of-

fers a one-year Global Master of Arts

Program with leadership training for

mid- and senior-level international af-

fairs professionals. Most of the instruc-

tion takes place online, but students

also participate in a two-week residency

at the start of each term. The programrequires a minimum of eight years of

professional experience.

Networking opportunities are truly

international in the 16-month George-

town-ESADE Global Executive MBA

program offered by Georgetown Uni-

versitys School of Foreign Service and

School of Business, together with

ESADE Business School in Spain. It in-

cludes six 11- to 12-day residencies in

Washington, Barcelona, Moscow, India,Argentina, Brazil, and New York.

Classes take place in the evening

and on weekends in Johns Hopkins

Universitys part-time M.A. program in

Global Security Studies. The Washing-

ton, D.C. program is designed for

working professionals aiming to forge

a new career or enhance an existing

one in international affairs.

You can study either part-time or

full-time in Suffolk Universitys Master

Part-Time andMid-Career Programs

International students studying in

Canada can now stay in Canada and

work for three years after receiving their

degree. They can also apply for perma-

nent residence status to remain in the

country for longer and be eligible for

government jobs.There is a large Canadian NGO

job market, notes Fen Hampton, di-

rector of Carleton Universitys School

of International Affairs. Graduates of

the Carleton program and the Univer-

sity of Ottawas bilingual Graduate

School of Public and International Af-

fairs have access to government jobs in

Canadas capital and jobs with NGOs

as well as international organizations

way to focus your career on a certainregion or gain access to job networks

Brussels School of International Stud-

pean capital. The Hertie School of

the Pacific Rim, specifically Australia, has

more potential for growth than the U.S.

in the coming years, so I wanted to be

where the action is. Id like to stay here

in Australia after I graduate.

In terms of international prestige, de-

grees in international affairs from U.S.programs often carry more weight than

do programs abroad. Thats one reason

why 30 to 50 percent of students in lead-

ing U.S. programs come from other

countries. Columbia Universitys 60-year-

old School of International and Public Af-

fairs has a student body that is 50 percent

Like most graduate programs,

masters programs in interna-

tional affairs often require the

Graduate Record Examination

(GRE) for admission. It helps

to do well on this test, but not

doing well doesnt necessarily

eliminate you. If you have

strong grades, strong work ex-

perience, and strong recom-mendations but average or

below-average GRE scores, an

admissions office might con-

clude that youre just not a

great test-taker or had a bad day. But

if your grades and your GRE scores

are both mediocre, some schools

might not view you as a desirable can-

didate.

The GRE is similar to the Gradu-

ate Management Admission Test(GMAT) required by many M.B.A.

programs, except that the GREs math

questions are less challenging. The

GRE is also similar to the SAT used for

undergraduate admissions. In fact, the

GREs verbal section is almost iden-

tical to the 1994 SAT, says Ned John-

son, president of PrepMatters, a

Washington, D.C.-area tutoring and

test-preparation company. While the

SAT has been revised in recent years,

Johnson says the GRE remains hugely

vocabulary-dependent. Like the SAT

from 15 years ago, the GRE has sec-

tions on reading comprehension, sen-

tence completion, analogies, andantonyms.

Some people find that the primary

challenge of taking the GRE is its

computer-adaptive presentation. You

cant skip a question that stumps you.

If you guess the right answer, the

question you get next is likely to be

harder than the question you would

get after answering incorrectly. Since

you take the test on a com-

puter terminal, you cant mark

or highlight passages in the

reading comprehension sec-

tion, and you need to scroll up

and down to see the questions

and refer back to the text. The

computer wont let you whit-

tle down your choices by

crossing out a multiple choiceanswer that you know is

wrong.

Johnson recommends tak-

ing lots of free practice tests,

which you can download or get from

a CD. Test-preparation courses offer a

structured setting that can help you

maintain the discipline to take the test

over and over.

The International Affairs program

at the New School in New York Cityis among those that dont require the

GRE. Carleton University in Ottawa,

Ontario, doesnt require the test for its

M.A. in International Affairs, but

many applicants submit their scores

nonetheless, and admissions officers

consider those scores. Bottom line:

Acing the GRE is will increase your

program choices.

Acing the GRE

of Political Science program in Boston,

which has an international relations

track. It offers required courses and fac-

ulty office hours in the evening, Another

program that allows either part-time or

fulltime enrollment is New York Univer-sitys M.S. in Global Affairs

For the flexibility of earning your de-

gree online, you might consider the

Master of Arts in International Relations

and Conflict Resolution offered by

American Military University, which is

part of the fully accredited American

Public University System. Tuition is rel-

atively low at $825 per course.

Another online option comes fromDuquesne Universitys School of Lead-

ership and Professional Advancement.

The Pittsburgh-based school offers a

new online Master of Science with a

concentration in global leadership. It fo-

cuses on skills for cross-cultural interac-

tion, knowledge of critical global issues,

and international leadership skills.

Online degrees are not limited by na-

tional boundaries. Staffordshire Univer-sity in England offers several online

M.A. degrees, including a program in In-

ternational Policy and Diplomacy and a

program in International Relations.
