Academic excellence, individual attention and multicultural perspective

Welcome to AGSIRDLocated in Paris, the American Graduate School of International Relations and Diplomacy offers high quality academic programs to prepare students for careers in international organizations, NGOs, government, and diplomacy as well as international business, journalism, academics, and other fields of international affairs. Degrees granted include a US-accredited M.A. and a Ph.D. in international relations and diplomacy.

All AGSIRD programs are based on the American model of higher education while taking advantage of the cultural, institutional, and academic resources of Paris, France, and Europe. The language of instruction is English – no French is required to apply. Classes are small and allow for close student-professor interaction and individual attention to every student.

The current student body and faculty come from over twenty different countries, creating an international classroom environment and providing multi-cultural perspective of the discipline.

AGSIRD programs are open both to students having recently completed their undergraduate degree and to professionals seeking knowledge and career advancement.
