Academics and Graduate Programs
There’s still time to apply for fall 2022 enrollment!
“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.
