Global and International Policy

A digital globe with glowing orange continents sits above a circuit-board-like surface, symbolizing global technology and connectivity.

Today’s challenges transcend borders. With your support, we will expand global learning, invest in faculty leadership and launch the Maryland Global Policy Institute — a hub for interdisciplinary research and convening that positions the university as a leader in international policy. Our new Global and Foreign Policy major is the on-ramp, preparing students to think critically, act globally and lead with integrity. Your partnership will power:

  • Student pathways: Fellowships, internships and study-abroad tied to policy practice, opening direct routes into global policy careers.
  • Faculty excellence: Endowed chairs and practitioner-in-residence roles that unite scholarship and practice across regions and issue areas.
  • Convening power: High-level dialogues and conferences connecting government, international organizations and leading think tanks — creating ideas, networks and pipelines for our students.

With your support, we will strengthen UMD’s role as a leader in global policy and connect world-class scholarship with real-world impact across borders and generations.
