International Partners
The school runs an independent study abroad program for its graduate students. As a part of its internationally focused education, it encourages graduate students to add an international component to their studies by living in a foreign country. The school believes that the experience is a key part of an education in international affairs because it increases understanding of the world by providing students with a variety of new and unexpected perspectives. The program functions as bilateral partnerships with a number of schools.
Some of these include the University of Sydney in Australia, the Universidad Torcuato di Tella in Argentina, the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina in Brazil, Norman Paterson School of International Affairs in Canada, Fudan University in China, Sciences Po in France, Freie Universität Berlin in Germany, University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong, Jawaharlal Nehru University in India, Waseda University in Japan, Ewha Womans University in South Korea, The American University of Beirut in Lebanon, Universiteit Maastricht in the Netherlands, European University at Saint Petersburg in Russia, National University of Singapore in Singapore, IHEID (Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies) in Switzerland, Boğaziçi University in Turkey, and the London School of Economics & Political Science in the United Kingdom. The school constantly looks for new partners and schools are added on a yearly basis.
The undergraduate students also have the option of studying abroad during their time at the Elliott School. However, that program is not run independently by the school but instead undergraduates use the George Washington University's study abroad system. Thanks to that, these students have access to nearly 250 study abroad programs.

Famous quotes containing the word partners:
“Let’s face it. With the singular exception of breast-feeding, there is nothing about infant care that a mother is innately better qualified to do than a father. Yet we continue to unconsciously perpetuate the myth that men just don’t have what it takes to be true partners in the process.”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
