Research Opportunities Small stipends are available for AFP-related research, at the Director's discretion. International Study Trips
The American Foreign Policy Program offers its students the opportunity to take part in international study trips, contingent on available funding. In academic year 2010-2011, AFP sent students on a study trip to China. Participants were chosen by a competitive selection process. A selection panel reviewed the applications to determine commitment and applicability of the study trip to students' interests and goals. China: March 18 - 26, 2011
During their visit in China, students met with representatives from the academic, diplomatic, public sector, private sector, and media communities, with the goal of gaining a deeper understanding of the various forces at work in the changing dynamics of US-Sino relations. Crisis Simulation Crisis Simulation is an annual program co-sponsored with the Conflict Management and Strategic Studies programs. The program is directed by Professor Eliot Cohen and draws on experienced alumni. Approximately 50 students participate including about 10 students who enroll in the crisis simulation seminar for credit.
