Admissions
Curriculum
Your international career begins here
As a public diplomacy and global communications student, you will be dually enrolled in two prestigious schools that give you access to world-class expertise in public diplomacy studies: the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. You will learn the art of public diplomacy from people who have done what you want to do: work with governments, organizations and international corporations to make it possible for people on opposite ends of the world to understand and communicate with each other.
Program Outcome
You will gain the skills needed to understand how to build relationships with multicultural audiences. Your coursework will teach you how to develop communications programs that describe an organization, convey its vision, explain its actions and capably and confidently advance its message in times of change or crisis.
Scholarships and Funding
Various scholarships, fellowships and instructional associate positions are awarded to incoming Newhouse students to help offset the cost of attendance. Since Newhouse does have limited funding to offer, the majority of these awards are partial and only applicable for the academic year (excluding the summer sessions). It is also a competitive process, and all awards are merit-based.
