Program Requirements
Successful completion requires 58 credits of coursework. The program begins in early July with a summer-long gateway seminar, introducing students to the fields of public diplomacy, public communications, and their cross-disciplinary synthesis.
During the fall and spring semesters, students take courses at the Maxwell and Newhouse Schools. The following summer, students can complete an off-campus experience at one of several locations around the world. Students resume coursework in the second fall semester and finish the program that spring in Washington, D.C., where they complete a required internship and attend two special seminars addressing issues in public diplomacy and public communication at the Maxwell School’s home in Washington, DC. Graduation requirements include demonstrating proficiency in a foreign language.
