Provide a current résumé or curriculum vitae, which includes your education, employment history, awards
and accolades, international exposure, publication credits, and leadership roles in any volunteer and/or extracurricular

Personal Statement:
Discuss your goals for graduate study and for your professional career. What experiences have
most contributed to your desire to study international relations? How will Johns Hopkins SAIS and your intended
concentration serve to meet your academic and professional goals? If you have selected International Development as
your first choice concentration, it is important to also address your interests in your second choice concentration as your
application may be reviewed by both programs. If you intend to pursue a dual degree you should address this interest as
well. (no more than 600 words in length)
Recommendation Letter:
MA applicants are required to submit two letters of recommendation and have the option of submitting a third.
Recommendations should be written by individuals well placed to discuss the applicant’s qualifications for graduate study and
a career in international affairs. Please note that Johns Hopkins SAIS will accept letters of recommendation only through our
online application system or in hard copy directly from the recommender; recommendations submitted via email or fax will
not be accepted.
