Korbel Student

Hello, I wanted to offer some insight into the Josef Korbel School of International Studies. I am a current student studying International Studies with a regional focus on Russia and the former Soviet Union. First, I would like to say that there is a language component to all of our degrees. Students must display a fourth level proficiency in a foreign language (specifics can be found here). As far as the location/reputation debate, I think that being in Denver gives our students a competitive edge. We receive a "beyond the beltway" perspective and can look at policy as a bigger picture, rather than be caught up in the details of what is currently the "it" issue in D.C. Also, our faculty and staff have experience in D.C. and the surrounding areas so we do not miss out (a recent example would be our new Dean former Ambassador Christopher Hill). If you want to study in D.C., we do have the DC semester program and all of our degree programs offer credit for internships, just in case you do not want to live in D.C. for an entire semester. Please take a look at our Top 10 Reasons to attend Korbel. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. By email: korbeladm@du.edu or phone: 303.871.2544

Of course. Our Admissions Office number is in my signature.
