Who Should Apply

Admission to the U.S. Foreign Policy Summer Institute at the Elliot School is competitive. The institute encourages applications for both programs from students with backgrounds in economics, history, interdisciplinary studies, international affairs, international business, media studies, or political science. Other academic backgrounds will also be considered. International students contribute an important dimension to the study of foreign policy and the Institute welcomes applications from abroad.

Those interested in U.S. foreign policy who do not need educational credits are welcome to enroll to audit the course. Audit candidates would attend all the classes but would not be obliged to submit any assessed work.
