Submit an essay that answers one of the two questions below (Note: there is no required length for the statement of purpose, but it should typically be 500-750 words):

1. What are your academic and research interests, career objectives, how will a degree from SIA enable you to achieve your goals, and what unique skills, talents, and/or perspectives will you bring to our program? Please be specific.

2. What is an issue of global importance you wish to address in your professional career? Please include how SIA and the academic program to which you have applied will prepare you to address this global issue.
