There's an incredible 
potential for this program

to have a major 
impact in the world,

and I don't think 
that's an overstatement.

I think that we can help 
train and help build leaders

who make real impact in 
many of the major themes

and contemporary problems 
that the world faces today.

I was attracted by 
the program at USF

because it's 
multidisciplinary, and it

has the perfect mixture between 
practice-oriented learning

and theories.

The international 
studies program

offers a lot of diversity 
in their students

and their faculty and in 
their class subject matter.

In my cohort, I had 
nine people so it

was great interaction 
one-on-one with the professors,

as well as discussions 
between your classmates.

The small class size is the 
foundation for the program.

Lots of small group 
work within the class.

Lots of peer reviewing and 
conversations between students.

Studying international 
studies right now.

Global issues right 
now in San Francisco,

that is an amazing city.

A diverse city.

A very welcoming city.

It's a unique advantage.

It's a wonderful place to 
become a part of as a student

at the University 
of San Francisco,

and to engage with, to intern at 
different global organizations

here that are based 
in San Francisco.

Your skills are going to 
be needed because you've

been taught a broad range 
of skills and talents

that I don't think are 
given in other degrees.

What we're trying 
to do here is we're

trying to produce the forms 
of knowledge and the tools

and techniques to change 
the world from here--

it's our motto, but 
it's really what we

want to do as faculty members.
