Practical knowledge for the professional world.

A leader among professional schools of international affairs, the Elliott School was the first to offer its graduate students a full set of professional skills courses focusing on practical skills that help students succeed as practitioners in their careers. The courses are designed to supplement the substantive and theoretical aspects of our academic curriculum and teach skills applicable to the professional world.

Register for Professional Skills courses just as you would register for other courses. All Skills classes are listed as either IAFF 202 or IAFF 203, and each is 1 credit.
