Why Fletcher?
The Fletcher School offers students a unique environment in which to
develop the skills, tools, and preparation that they need to excel in
today’s highly competitive global economy. Students benefit from
Fletcher’s strong and supportive community of students, scholars,
alumni, and practitioners.
Established in 1933, Fletcher is the oldest exclusively graduate
school of international relations in the country, and has a
long-standing tradition of preparing leaders with a global perspective.
Even as we update the curriculum to remain current, we maintain the
hallmarks of the Fletcher experience: the School’s diversity, community,
and flexibility. Through in class and out-of-class activities, Fletcher
students contribute the wisdom they have developed through a wide range
of life experiences.
The sense of community is fostered by small classes, accessible
faculty members, and a strong network of alumni. The School’s flexible
multidisciplinary program of study allows students to design a
curriculum that meets their own academic and professional goals. After
graduating, Fletcher alumni pursue a broad array of careers in
government, business, and international and non-profit organizations.
The Fletcher School will help you reach your professional goals,
whether you choose to work in the public, private, or not-for-profit
sector. A Fletcher education is an important step toward becoming a
Leader with a Global Perspective.
