Who We Are

In 1961 at the request of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, the global arm of Graduate School USA was formalized with the creation of its International Institute. The International Institute provides tailored global programs in the areas of capacity building, professional development and educational exchange, governance, and health that meet the unique needs of its clients.
