In their own words
SAIS is the only graduate program in international relations that puts such a heavy emphasis on economics. Since SAIS Europe is also based in the heart of Europe, I couldn’t think of a better place to learn about the EU and its place in the global order.
Amina Frassl, MAIR B'22 DC'23 (Austria)
My favorite experience with SAIS is how the administration and faculty are always available full-time to enable students to achieve their full potential.
Ronnie Alinda Kyamureku, MAIR B’23 DC’24 (Uganda)
After applying to several programs, touring different schools, and consulting with friends, family, and mentors, I realized that SAIS was the only school that genuinely felt like home. It’s a decision I’ve never doubted since.
