"I chose Master of Science in Foreign Service (MSFS) because I believed that it would provide me with the most suitable academic curriculum and environment to achieve my career goals. The student experience at the Walsh School of Foreign Service as well as the diversity of the MSFS cohort was extremely attractive.”
