"I chose MSFS because of the program's focus on public service and its legacy of graduating numerous generations of transformational leaders in world affairs. The proximity of the school in relationship to practitioners based in Washington DC was an additional deciding factor. Lastly, the MSFS cohort model is unique in that each student brings their own diverse background and subject matter expertise to the classroom, creating opportunities where one can learn as much from fellow classmates as one does from the professor."
