Academics and Graduate Programs
“The world needs Fletcher; it needs the way Fletcher educates people, the way it trains them to look at and approach problems, and the unique skillset that Fletcher graduates emerge with a skillset that equips them to integrate things in the way a traditionally trained professional can’t do.” So said two recent alumni when asked about the value of a Fletcher education in 2022.
Fletcher offers students at various career stages an unparalleled experience that delivers Fletcher's unique, flexible, interdisciplinary approach to international affairs in the company of a category-of-one global community.
Fletcher's portfolio of programs provide the flexibility to meet the evolving and diverse needs of students and their employers, regardless of location or learning objective.
We offer residential, online and hybrid options, complete two-year programs and accelerated durations, and programs designed for those looking to explore different disciplines within global affairs as well as those with a specific career focus.
