An innovative curriculum includes a two-year sequence of reading and research seminars, interdisciplinary electives, and intensive foreign language training. Esteemed faculty provide our students with new frameworks and the tools to understand the transnational forces that have shaped our world. At the heart of the program is the two-year dissertation, an original scholarly work based on empirical research and analysis.

Students spend the first year in New York and the second year in London, receiving degrees from both institutions. Immersed in the vibrant intellectual communities of these global cities, graduates are prepared for careers in government, journalism, think
tanks, NGOs, and academia.
