GMAP students in the classroom.
GMAP is the premier leadership training program for international affairs executives. The GMAP March and GMAP July classes share a 360-degree approach to understanding international relations: a rich interdisciplinary curriculum, team-based collaboration, and class composition designed to ensure a broad range of geographical and professional perspectives. Each session is a one-year degree program leading to a Master of Arts focused on International Affairs.
GMAP teaches participants to explore the complex and nuanced intersections among the worlds of international business, international organizations and NGOs, and governments. Participants include a wide variety of international affairs professionals from all regions of the world with diverse interests and professional backgrounds.
Both classes provide the same signature Fletcher experience. The different calendar options allow you the flexibility to enroll in GMAP when it best fits your busy professional (and personal) life. Reading periods begin in March or July, followed by the first residency on the Tufts campus. The midyear residency is held at an international city outside of the United States. Students return to Tufts campus following their year of study for the final residency when you finish coursework, defend your thesis and participate in the Commencement ceremony.
The GMAP March Class runs from March to March. The GMAP July Class runs from July to July.
