"The fact that the International Administration program is small is very liberating; the freedom in choosing my classes and electives is amazing. Plus, the professors in the Administration program have immense practical experience in what they teach, and that really comes through in the curriculum. Being a part of this community is really beneficial." Meet this Josef Korbel School master's candidate.

"The great advantage of American graduate education is the diversity of views." Meet this Josef Korbel School Ph.D. candidate.

Holly McFarland

"Unlike some international graduate schools that appear to focus on economics, language, or business, Korbel offers a range of concentrations. I appreciate having students of various backgrounds, experiences and tracks such as security, human rights and global finance in class. It certainly adds a degree of sophistication and earnestness to class discourse." Meet this Josef Korbel School master's candidate.

"The International Administration offers lots of flexibility as administration can apply to whatever field of interest attracts you.

There are always people willing to help the students." Meet this Josef Korbel School master's candidate.
