Take the Next Step in Serving Your Country.

Richard Laszok ('20) Former Captain in the U.S. Marine Corps

"What appealed to me about Kings Point is similar to what appealed to me about IWP: the scholar-practitioner faculty."

Richard's Story

Kipp McGuire ('18) Former Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps

"IWP broadened my field of vision drastically... I had the time and opportunity to sit down and read, really study, some of the things that were going on in Iraq and Afghanistan while I was there as an enlisted Marine."

Kipp's story

Christian Myles ('19) Former U.S. Army

"The Institute of World Politics leads the way in developing those seeking to serve in international relations or the various national security career paths. Its uniqueness stems from its emphasis on the American founding principles and Western Moral Tradition, which provides a solid basis for understanding what one will defend and promote over the span of a career in the civil service."

Joshua Drusbacky ('19)

"If you are enlisted, take a look at the Georgetown Hoya Battalion’s ROTC program, because it gives you the opportunity to become a commissioned officer while studying at IWP."

Joshua's story

Greg Abide ('18)

"The education we have received at IWP has prepared us well for success beyond the walls of the institution. We were instilled with the importance of applying a realistic and clearly defined strategy when approaching the challenges of the world, as opposed to utopian, idealistic solutions, which fail to achieve their objectives because they are ill-defined or unachievable."

Greg's story

Andrew Harris ('17)

"One of the expectations of this school is that you are going to become leaders at some point."

Andrew's story

Nate Ginty ('16) Former U.S. Navy

"I liked the idea of learning from practitioners who have sat in the seats that I aspire to one day. There wasn't one professor I didn't respect or didn't like in any of my classes."

Nate's story

Drew Duncan Former U.S. Marine Corps

"I was ecstatic when I discovered IWP's partnership with the VA to implement the GI Bill's® Yellow Ribbon Program. My remaining costs for the semester were covered through this program, personally saving me over $2,000. IWP is undoubtedly dedicated to veterans in all facets of its operations as an institution of higher learning."

Drew's story

Rob A ('13) Former U.S. Air Force Intelligence

"IWP gave me a lot to think, read, and write about. Another great aspect was the percentage of active-duty and veteran students, which gave a sense of connection and community."

Rob's story

Holly Harris ('13)

"The critical thinking and analytic skills within the Institute of World Politics BSAP program will serve me well in the future."

Holly's story

Samantha Moyer ('13) Former U.S. Army Intelligence Analyst

"I think I have a broader understanding now of the workings of the whole of government, and what happens when there is no viable strategic vision."

Samantha's story

Adam MacAllister ('13)

"The school does such a great job of teaching the different arts of statecraft. Until you have an idea about all these capabilities, you won't be able to develop a coherent, complete, and fully integrated strategy."

Adam's story

Katie Crombe ('12)

"I cannot believe how much I have learned in only nine months, and how much I did not know about the world before beginning this program. I wish I had many of these lessons before my deployments. They would have been helpful."

Katie's story

David Pate ('12) Former U.S. Army Captain

"This school has grown me up a lot, and helped me develop an inner sense of self. I don't think you can get that anywhere else. I'm really grateful for this place."
