As a Missouri State student, Amanda Klimek studied away to India and completed an internship in the United Kingdom. She graduated in 2013 with a global studies degree and Spanish minor. She is currently pursuing a master’s in public and international affairs at one of the nation’s leading policy schools.

“I can say with full confidence that I would not be in this master’s program without both my background in study away and my proficiency in a second language. And MSU’s public affairs mission not only makes graduates competitive on a nationwide and global scale, but it fosters the knowledge base and emotional intelligence that you need to be effective and make a difference wherever you end up.”
