Fletcher Thesis: Killing Two Birds with One Stone: How the Danish Mortgage Model Could Reform the US Housing Market and Reboot American Relations with the Islamic World

My advice to prospective students: “The Fletcher students who distinguished themselves the most were those who had spent at least two to three years abroad before attending Fletcher. Whether it be a long-term volunteer experience, a US-based job that takes one overseas for the majority of the time, or a permanent position in a developing country, this type of expertise is invaluable. It was the students who had the more diverse experiences who added the most value to the classroom and enjoyed the widest range of job and internship prospects. My advice to any prospective student is to garner field experience before applying. This will enhance both your academic experience and your job prospects after graduation.”

My most memorable class: “Professor Everett's 'Petroleum in the Global Economy' was the class I most enjoyed at Fletcher. The adjective "Fletcher-y" quickly makes its way into a student’s vocabulary, and Professor Everett's class was the most Fletcher-y class I took. It pushes students to put equal weight on economics, finance, law, and politics, all of which are crucial elements to the Fletcher MIB experience. Moreover, it achieves this through requiring students to delve into six interactive projects that address real-world scenarios, such as projecting cash flows for a multi-decade oil extraction project, combing through a foreign government's legal proposal, and developing economic models to assess the feasibility of alternative energy solutions. This class is a must for all Fletcher students, especially those who choose an MIB or business-minded track.”
