The Korbel School, a Global Leader: Ranked 12th Best International Relations Master’s Program in the World
The University of Denver's Josef Korbel School of International Studies has been named the 12th best place in the world to earn a master’s degree in international relations by Foreign Policy magazine, moving up from 14th in the previous ranking. Korbel’s undergraduate degree program was ranked 20th in the United States. These rankings are based on an extensive survey of more than 900 international relations scholars.
Dean Fritz Mayer expressed pride at the news. “It is hard to overstate how remarkable these rankings are given the formidable competition. Such glowing recognition by those who know international affairs programs best is a wonderful testament to the excellence of our faculty, the strength of our programs, the quality of our staff, and the accomplishments of our students and alumni.”
Foreign Policy also separately surveyed policymakers and think tank staffers, who ranked the Korbel School master’s programs 18th and 28th, respectively. The school was one of only five outside of the East Coast that ranked in the top 30 by all three respondent groups.
