The diversity of the student body is one of the strongest assets of the MSFS program. Imagine discussing U.S.-Iranian relations with fellow Iranian-Americans, Israeli, Chinese, Russian, and European students—this type of dialogue is not only fascinating, but essential to developing a holistic understanding of any issue. The richness of the academic experience at MSFS predicates on this type of open dialogue that is conducive of respectful debate and sharing of ideas, and is mediated by a staff of professors that looks like the who’s who of foreign policy.
