The courses in the MSFS program are outstanding.  We are challenged to think like policy-makers by building an intellectual framework and combining it with practical application.  Each professor brings rich experience, allowing us a glimpse into the lives of individuals who make the headlines.  It is a treat to be surrounded by bright classmates and successful professors.  The arrangement pushes us out of our comfort zone and helps us develop our career path.
