What our students say

“These two years at the STG have been the most vibrant of my professional, academic, and personal life. I learned the art of deconstructing and analyzing the complexities of the world, and this has given me the interdisciplinary skills to be versatile and adaptable in a variety of contexts. I will be forever thankful to the STG for nurturing my global outlook.”

“The School of Transnational Governance represents an innovative, modern approach to international education. By bringing together students from dozens of countries across every continent to be taught by the politicians and scholars who shaped this century’s major developments thus far, the STG can truly shape a new generation of leaders. From Central Asia to Latin America, these young professionals – multilingual, engaged, and interdisciplinary in their approach to problem solving – will indubitably emerge as a force to reckon with in the next generation of policymaking.”

“This master encouraged me to become a ‘realistic idealist’. When I first arrived on campus in the fall of 2020, my questions were more about ‘what’ is happening in the world and ‘why’? Now, two-years later, I find myself trying to solve for questions like, ‘what does a better world mean and how do I build it?’ My adopted multicultural and interdisciplinary family here at the STG has helped me to see the world through many different lenses with my own eyes.”
