Josef Korbel School student Majo Aldana

I was really excited about hearing about the program. The fact that you can choose your classes, that is not something you can do in Guatemala.

Josef Korbel School student Alex Conway

I was really attracted to the GFTEI program in particular because it seemed very interdisciplinary and towards the end of my undergrad I got really interested in economics.

Josef Korbel School student Lauren

I chose Korbel because of the strong Global Finance Trade and Economic Integration program and also because of the Peace Corps Fellows program.

Kyle

The GFTEI program at Korbel attracted me because I felt it combined my undergrad and professional experience with my international interests.

Josef Korbel School student Jesse Hunter

I came and visited, and I liked how this was under the radar a little bit, yet still a great quality school. It is a really solid program that is a functional degree.

Erica

I wanted a more qualitative, traditional academic degree rather than one that's more policy focused. I wanted a degree that is amenable to different paths – one I would be able to use in the Department of State or outside of it.

Josef Korbel School Student Colin Lawrence

The classes that I take here do an excellent job of providing an understanding of the history of slavery and how it's influenced trafficking in the current era.

Josef Korbel School student Michael Marcous

I will be entering the Foreign Service in 2012, so this internship provided an excellent opportunity to engage in the work of a Foreign Service Officer. It also helped to improve my Arabic language skills.

Josef Korbel School student Maureen Mersmann

I was attracted to the Administration program because of its focus on practical training in quantitative analysis and management skills and because of the freedom it allowed me in terms of selecting electives.

Josef Korbel MA student Laura Morales

Korbel was one of the places where I could study Latin America but also expand my horizon and take classes that I had no background in. The flexibility was important.

Josef Korbel School student Jonathan Moyer

"The hardest thing is that it's difficult for me to stop thinking about this stuff at the end of the day... The best part about being here is biking to work in the crisp fall air and the view of the mountains, and then getting here and working with people that, at some level, are really impacting other people. The combination of all of that is pretty cool."

Josef Korbel School student Steven Meyers

I felt that Korbel had more of niche reputation, whereas I had also gotten into some D.C. schools and I thought I would be paying a lot more money and there are thousands of people coming to them each year so I might as well have my own special path.

Josef Korbel School student Kiela Parks

At Korbel, you are not just a face; you are not just a number. It really feels like there’s a collaborative effort between students, faculty, and staff to help you succeed.

Josef Korbel School student Rhiannan Price

When deciding on a graduate program, Korbel stood out as a competitive program that would help me build the needed skills to start a career in the field. The balance of theory and practical application in the coursework and opportunities at Korbel are unmatched by other international studies programs

Josef Korbel School student Porscha Stiger

I was intrigued by the GFTEI program; it's so flexible and interdiscirplinary. I think it's important to understand the intricacies of the international financial system, especially in light of my past few years.

Josef Korbel School MA student Molly Stolpman

Korbel stood out from other schools in that it allowed students the opportunity to personalize their education. At Korbel, two students in the same program may have very distinct experiences based on the concentrations they choose, the internships they complete, and the focus of their research.

Josef Korbel School student Stephanie Wegmann

I was debating between Korbel and the Fletcher School at Tufts University, but ultimately chose Korbel due to the flexibility of its programs and the quality of life in Denver.

Josef Korbel School student Amy Wong

I was accepted to other prestigious APSIA institutions in D.C. and on the East Coast, but I ultimately decided on Korbel because of its location outside of the Beltway and the flexibility of its program.

Josef Korbel School student Shaye Worthman

The interdisciplinary nature of the Josef Korbel School's International Development program appealed to me. I felt it was a good mix of theoretically based courses coupled with the opportunity to take more practical courses, such as Statistics, Project Management, Project Analysis, Project Evaluation, and Econometrics.

Josef Korbel School student Sahar Yarjani

Looking at the professors and what they’ve done was very encouraging. I see them in the field where I want to be, they’ve worked where I want to work.
