The Josef Korbel School in Washington, D.C., Program focuses on the conceptual issues, policy processes and practical dimensions of development and globalization through a combination of coursework and supervised internships. The Josef Korbel School participates in this program with the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) and Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. For the past five years, GSPIA and the Maxwell School have operated the Global Security and Development Program that combines professional internships with an array of graduate courses taught by adjunct faculty drawn from the Washington, D.C., area's pool of experts in international relations and economics.
Participating students work 20 to 30 hours per week at their internship location, and attend one or two classes per week. Close interaction with policy officials and experts in trade and investment, economic development, conflict resolution, transitional justice and democratization expose students to the rules, procedures, policies and institutional approaches associated with processes of development and globalization. The program enhances professional skills and provides numerous networking opportunities unique to being located in the nation's capital.
This program is only available to current, continuing (second year) Josef Korbel School students.
