The School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University is one of the most prestigious graduate schools of public policy in the world. Located on Columbia’s Morningside Heights campus in the Borough of Manhattan, in New York City, the School has 15,000 graduates in more than 150 countries. Half of SIPA’s nearly 1,200 students are international, coming from 100 countries. They are enrolled in the traditional two-year programs, one of the three intense accelerated full-degree programs, in the mid-career executive program in public administration, or in one of several dual degree programs with international schools such as the London School of Economics and Political Science, the Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po), the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin, and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore.
