Our Home

The International Leadership Association is housed within the University of Maryland School of Public Policy. The School of Public Policy is one of the nation’s leading graduate programs dedicated to the study of public policy, management and international affairs. Neither a behemoth nor a niche program, the School of Public Policy is a medium sized school with big ideas and small classes.

The School of Public Policy is the only school of public policy in the D.C. area embedded within a major research university. Students benefit from classes and other interactions with top-ranked graduate programs in economics, government and politics, education, criminology, business, engineering and the environmental sciences. The School of Public Policy is also one of the few schools—and the only school in the region—to combine domestic and international policy study under one roof, allowing faculty and students to study the full scope of issues that affect both realms.

The centers and institutes within the School of Public Policy conduct research and disseminate recommendations on cutting-edge issues, and offer students opportunities to work on research projects with practitioners who make real contributions to domestic and global policy.

The state's flagship university, the University of Maryland is ranked 11th among all public U.S. universities and 37th worldwide in a recent international survey, and was named one of the top 15 "green universities" in the country. The University counts among its greatest strengths—and a major component of its excellence—the diversity of its faculty, students, and staff. The University of Maryland is committed to achieving excellence as the State’s primary center of research and graduate education and the institution of choice for undergraduate students of exceptional ability and promise.
