Join us this Fall – Virtually!

Our new students are back on-campus and actively engaged in their coursework. In the interest of safety, however, Syracuse University remains closed to visitors. This fall we have a number of creative ways to connect with prospective students who would have otherwise visited us to learn more about our masters programs: Maxwell’s Master of Public Administration, MA International Relations and MA in Public Diplomacy and Global Communications (offered jointly with the Newhouse School of Public Communications).

We are also making plans for program-focused open house options, opportunities for virtual class attendance, student panels and the like! For now, we have an active Virtual Recruitment Calendar filling in with events, Webinars, and some thought-provoking campus lectures you are invited to attend. You can see the full calendar here:

[ https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/paia/admissions/mpa-mair/recruiting-and-webinar-schedule/ ]

Below is the complete listing to date – but keep checking back as our team is hard at work to find fun and engaging ways to share information with you about the incredibly, diverse, talented, and public-serviced minded graduate and scholarly community at SU’s Maxwell School!

Until you can visit in person, take the SU VIRTUAL TOUR:
