Walsh School of Foreign Service

Redefining International Affairs

Created as the first U.S. school of international affairs, the Walsh School of Foreign Service vowed to train young leaders to serve the world. Now in its second century, at a time of unprecedented global uncertainty, SFS is called once again to prepare a new generation for foreign service—in new ways that reflect the challenges ahead.

Our mission inspires us to educate leaders with a deep connection to the Jesuit value of service, and both the commitment and skills to confront the world’s challenges. In meeting that mission, we will benefit from our rich history, expert faculty, and enduring values—and build on those strengths through ambitious investments in scholarships and fellowships, faculty and curriculum, learning experiences, and our global reach.
