About
Harvard
University
Since its founding in 1636, Harvard University
has had a distinguished history of training leaders and
contributing to the solution of global policy challenges
through partnerships with other prestigious
organizations. The University has educated thousands of
individuals who have gone on to positions of leadership
serving their nations as presidents, heads of state,
ambassadors, senators and congressmen, senior-level
cabinet leaders, and business executives.
The University operates an internationally
renowned undergraduate college, as well as nine
professional graduate schools focusing on areas such as
business, law, medicine, public health, education, and
government.
In 1936, this tradition was further
enhanced with the establishment of a graduate program of
public administration, which, in 1966, became the John
F. Kennedy School of Government.
The Kennedy School
is the first institution in the world devoted to
leadership training and public policy study at a major
research university.
Annually, over 750 students from around the world
receive Masters’ Degrees in Public Administration and in
Public Policy and over 2,000 senior practitioners in
both the public and private sectors attend shorter-term
intensive Executive Education Programs.
In addition, the School conducts
research on a wide range of international public policy
challenges, such as international political economy,
international security, business and government,
non-profit organizations, and international development.
In recent years, the Kennedy School
has greatly expanded its international work through
partnerships serving the mutual interests of nations and
the academic community.
The Kennedy
School is the most internationally
diverse graduate school at
Harvard
University, drawing
students annually from 70 foreign nations and with
alumni residing in 118 countries.
The School has also developed focused
international programs of intensive engagement on
critical areas of policy importance around the world,
including China,
Russia, the Middle East, and
South Africa.
