Exchanges

If you were to sit in on my admissions interviews and compile data on the questions I’m asked, you would assume that the second-year MALD class is a mere skeleton of its first-year self.  Everyone, you would guess, is off at an exchange program.

Fletcher offers some really great exchange (study abroad) opportunities, and the list has grown in recent years.  The School believes that graduate study in a new environment can be an excellent component of a Fletcher education.

Before starting their studies, many applicants and students inquire about exchange opportunities.  When they are in their first year at Fletcher, though, a smaller number goes ahead with an application to spend a semester at one of our partner institutions.  This is a perfect situation!  The students who are most interested in an exchange program are able to fill the available places.  Others will remain within the Fletcher community, and take advantage of all we have here.

So check out our exchange opportunities — one of them might be right for you!  But don’t fear that, if you don’t pursue an exchange, you will be one of the few left behind — you’ll have plenty of company right here.
