Fletcher Students

Of the graduating class of 1998, 157 students were drawn from a pool of 1,525 outstanding applicants. Students were selected for their superior academic credentials, innate intellectual curiosity, a superior aptitude for analysis, proven communications skills, creativity, and a commitment to pursuing an international career.

Students come from more than 70 nations and the vast majority are fluent in at least two languages. On average, they have two or more years of professional experience. As a group, they are intelligent and diligent, accomplished and mature.

"The Fletcher experience is about as full as one could hope - an amazingly diverse student body, faculty that are leaders in their fields, and a highly competent administration led by a truly remarkable person, John Galvin. Fletcher graduates are everywhere in international affairs-business, diplomacy, law, the military, academia-and this shared experience is a powerful tool for each student individually. The power of friendships forged at Fletcher, not to mention the thriving alumni network, ensures that I will benefit and learn from the talent and insight of my fellow classmates for years to come.

"I chose Fletcher because I wanted practical post-graduate degree that would prepare me for ‘the real world' in a profession with an international outlook. When I applied to Fletcher I had no idea I might end up in international finance, I only knew that I wanted to expose myself to ideas and approaches I hadn't considered before. It was clear that the international student body and faculty together would create the opportunities I was looking for on the practical side of making contacts and learning about career possibilities, as well as helping me academically."
