Starr Fellows Program for Mid-Career Professionals
The George Washington University's Elliott School of International
Affairs will be awarding fellowships to allow a small number of
mid-career professionals from Eastern Europe, Russia, the former
Soviet Republics, South Asia, Latin America and Africa to pursue the
Master of International Policy and Practice program during the
1999-2000 academic year. The fellowships, made possible by a generous
grant from the Starr Foundation,
will range from half- to full-tuition awards. Recipients must be able
to cover their own living and travel expenses.
Criteria for Admission
Candidates must have a B.A. plus either eight years of professional
work experience or an advanced degree to be eligible for the
fellowship. GREs are recommended but not required. A TOEFL score of
600 is usually required for admission. The competition for both the
fellowships and admission to the M.I.P.P. program is extremely
competitive.
The M.I.P.P.
The M.I.P.P. is an intensive, one-year degree program for mid-career
professionals. It prepares international affairs professionals to
understand complex global trends, make informed decisions about their
organizations' future, analyze and forecast international events, and
think and plan strategically in a global environment. M.I.P.P.
candidates take three core courses: one in international politics, one
in international economics, and one exclusive seminar that engages
participants in discussions with prominent guest speakers from
international business, the policy community, the international media,
and the nonprofit sector. Remaining coursework is tailored to
participants' individual needs. M.I.P.P. candidates can concentrate
on a wide range of related subjects including international business,
economics, politics, development, security policy, or science and
technology policy. M.I.P.P. candidates may also choose to study the
dynamics of a particular region, such as Latin America or Asia, or the
international aspects of U.S. policy.
The Elliott School of International Affairs
The Elliott School is The George Washington University's professional
school of international affairs. Located in the heart of the nation's
capital, the School trains exceptional men and women in the theory and
