Study With Purpose

Living & Learning in DC

We asked current students what it's like to live and study in DC. Their answers may surprise you.

"DC is a very international city. It's also where a lot of the people I'm interested in working with happen to live." – Stephanie Eyocko, MAIR Student

James B. Steinberg

Dean, School Of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University

The School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) was founded in 1943 by Paul H. Nitze and Christian A. Herter, statesmen who sought to prepare the next generation of leaders to meet the complex challenges the U.S. and the world would face following World War II. Eight decades later, in 2023, SAIS will welcome its first students to 555 Pennsylvania Avenue, inaugurating the next chapter in our remarkable history of fostering cutting edge research and dynamic young leaders to help meet the world’s most pressing challenges.
