- Essay that explains your interest (300 words or less):
- Columbia University is a global institution where students, faculty, alumni and supporters engage on a complex and fast-changing stage - a stage where business, politics, diplomacy and culture intersect. Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) brings these disciplines together through its International Fellows Program, a unique course of graduate study that provides a heightened understanding of the evolution of international affairs and empowers those involved to serve the global public interest. The International Fellows Program is a two-semester fellowship open to students of all graduate degree programs at Columbia University. Fellows offer one another, and benefit from a diverse array of professional and intellectual experiences attained around the world. Their common bonds include a strong interest in American foreign policy, a commitment to applying the lessons of the program to their careers, and their promise as emerging leaders of their chosen fields and in the field of international affairs. All Fellows receive a variable stipend and study a curriculum focused on American foreign policy, the emergence of the United States as a dominant power, and the subsequent evolution of a world that is increasingly global and less American. Highlights of the International Fellows Program include study trips to Washington, D.C. and the United Nations, where Fellows meet with senior diplomats, policy-makers, legislators, journalists, and leaders of non-governmental organizations.
