What is SSP graduate student life like?
A graduate education differs greatly from what many students experience in their undergraduate years. The SSP student population is far more varied and includes recently graduated students, mid career professionals, military personnel, and embassy officials. Some students are pursuing a second career or changing careers entirely while others work in the security community and are looking to advance their professional prospects. Students coming directly from undergraduate studies may be surprised by this shift from a structured social/work community to a more autonomous environment.
