PUBLIC DIPLOMACY at Syracuse University

 
 

Welcome | Overview | Admissions | Courses | faculty | Careers

 

The program begins in early July with a new gateway seminar that introduces students to the study of public diplomacy and communications. For the fall and spring semesters, students will combine coursework in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with coursework in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

The following summer, students complete an off-campus experience in Washington, DC, Geneva, Vienna, or Strasbourg. These credits count towards one of the two required career tracks for the International Relations program.

Students finish the program during the second spring semester with work in Washington, DC, at Syracuse University's Paul Greenberg House. In addition to a required internship, two special seminars are offered addressing issues in public diplomacy and public communication.
