Networking with Pitt's Graduate School of Public & International Affairs (GSPIA)

What does it take to apply successfully to a graduate program? What are master’s degree and Ph.D. admissions committees really looking for?

Michael Rizzi, Director of Admissions at the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) will give the inside scoop on how to make yourself a competitive candidate. The information will be appropriate for almost any graduate degree, but will focus in particular on GSPIA’s degree programs.

GSPIA is one of the nation’s top professional schools for students interested in public service careers, and who hope to make a difference in government agencies, nonprofit organizations, socially responsible business, teaching, and academia. It offers doctoral and master’s degrees in public administration, international development, and international affairs, as well as an accelerated master’s program for mid-career students.

This is an ideal session for anyone interested in graduate school, particularly with a focus on nonprofit management, international affairs, energy and the environment, urban revitalization, security studies, human rights, and other public service fields.
