“I chose Fletcher because of its diverse programs offered in International Affairs. I was looking into changing my career path and Fletcher gives me the opportunity to pursue new fields of study, while also using my legal background. The curriculum at Fletcher is very flexible as it allows students to combine courses in different disciplines in order to have an objective approach to problem solving.”
"As an International student from the Dominican Republic, I feel that the community at Fletcher is welcoming, which makes my experience studying abroad more comforting. Having to interact with such a diverse student body has allowed me to experience and learn from different cultures outside of the classroom.”
