International programs

Getting a masters degree from European University at Saint Petersburg helped me land a dream job handling foreign affairs in the House of Representatives.  In a city like Washington, DC, you need to stand out in a sea of job applicants that all went to great schools. Studying in Russia definitely helped me to do that.  It's a conversation starter while networking, noteworthy on a resume, and memorable in an interview. EUSP gave me an essential competitive edge over the poli-sci/liberal arts grads that are a dime-a-dozen in DC.
