Welcome to The Institute of World Politics (IWP), an independent graduate school founded to fill a major national need: to supply professional education in statecraft, national security, and international affairs that no other school offers and that few people acquire except through an entire career of on-the-job experience.
Today, America and other nations dedicated to preserving decent ...civilization are facing grave threats to peace, security, freedom, human rights, and prosperity. Addressing these threats requires extraordinary leadership that is knowledgeable about international realities and skilled in navigating a dangerous global strategic environment.
IWP is dedicated to educating and developing such leaders. It is the only school whose curriculum covers all the arts of statecraft – the instruments of national power. The Institute offers five M.A. degrees in its Master"s Degree Program, 18 Certificates of Graduate Study, and a Continuing Education Program.
The Institute of World Politics is a graduate school of national security and international affairs, dedicated to developing leaders with a sound understanding of international realities and the ethical conduct of statecraft, based on knowledge and appreciation of the founding principles of the American political economy and the Western moral tradition.
As a professional school specializing in the art of statecraft, The Institute of World Politics teaches the use of the various instruments of power. The Institute, however, recognizes that power, like liberty, can be misused and abused, and therefore its use must be accompanied by responsibility. As Theodore Roosevelt observed, “To educate a man in mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.” Thus, the Institute’s educational philosophy is guided by a recognition that education in ethics and civic virtue is a necessary prerequisite to the responsible conduct of statecraft.
The Institute’s philosophy proceeds first from a recognition that peace and security are the essential prerequisites for all functions of civil society, and that nothing in our public life –- neither domestic governance, commerce, the exercise of civil liberties, nor organized charitable work -– is possible without them.
The Institute offers Master"s degree, certificate, and continuing education programs with a professional curriculum covering the vari¬ous elements of statecraft. Its curriculum also includes an interdisciplinary foundational course of study of the relevant elements of comparative political culture, Western moral precepts, practical political economics, and political and diplomatic history.
For general guidance on graduate studies in the United States, international students can contact an EducationUSA advising center. EducationUSA is the U.S. State Department"s network of over 400 advising centers in 170 countries around the world. These centers are designed to assist international students as they prepare to apply to and attend colleges and universities in the United States.
Students at the Institute attend small, seminar-style classes, where the student/faculty ratio is 11:1.They learn from a distinguished faculty of scholar-practitioners with significant, high-level experience in policymaking. Many classes also feature guest lecturers, many of whom are current and former senior government officials who impart their practical knowledge. Discussion and lectures are enriched by insightful anecdotes and lessons learned by participants in recent historical events.
Because of its location in Washington, D.C., students are offered direct access to the heart of the U.S. foreign policy community and interaction with many of its leaders. Speakers at the Institute, whether faculty, guest lecturers, or speakers at extracurricular functions to which students are invited, are drawn from the highest ranks of the U.S. government, as well as from embassies, other governments, and domestic and international organizations specializing in national security affairs.
The Institute"s unique courses offer specialized professional education not available elsewhere. All courses enhance students" capacity to understand and address major current issues. Students frequently learn from their classmates, some of whom are officials in agencies of the U.S. and foreign governments. They often receive career advice from, and establish valuable contacts with, fellow students, their professors, and the guest faculty.
In Washington, D.C. many professionals begin their careers as interns. Interns regularly include college students, recent graduates and even those who have held professional positions, but are looking to move to a new field. IWP offers a stimulating academic environment, a chance to be a part of a graduate school team, the opportunity to audit a graduate course free of charge and the occasion to be close to Washington scholar-practitioners.
