Syracuse University

Syracuse University offers a variety of study away opportunities for you to gain a competitive edge. Maxwell-in-Washington is one such program, building on our leadership in policy-driven teaching, research and engagement.

Offered by the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, the program resides in the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington-based, bipartisan, nonprofit think tank. Its strategic location gives you more than a front-row seat to domestic and global affairs. It also enables you to learn—and grow—within a tight-knit community of scholars and practitioners.

Maxwell-in-Washington students Natalie Mulimbi ’25 M.P.A./M.A. (IR), Forrest Gatrell ’25 M.P.A./M.A. (IR), Masih Ghazanfari ’26 B.A. (IR), Bakary Darboe ’25 B.A. (PSc) and Xenia Zolano-Doroteo ’25 B.A. (IR) talk about how the experience benefits them in the Syracuse University story, “Capitol Connections,” written by Rob Enslin.
