The School of International Affairs is connected closely with Penn State University’s Dickinson School of Law. This connection is predicated on the professional orientation of both schools, their mutual emphasis on the practical application of knowledge for solving complex social problems, a significant overlap in the careers that graduates of both schools pursue, and the Law School’s academic depth with respect to international and comparative law and economic development. The schools share space in the new Lewis Katz Building, equipped with advanced audiovisual telecommunications capacity that enables the exchange of educational programs throughout the world.
