Chances are, you know these words well: AFP, CNS, Evolution of the International System and Theories of IR — SAIS’ four core courses. But are they still relevant? Are they covering the right material? Do they need revision? Listen to Erik Jones, head of the European Studies program at SAIS, and students, weigh in on this issue in this video.

Great clip, congrats. I just did CNS in DC, which was a great course. The Core Course Requirement is something unique for SAIS. I would leave it as it is. There are many fields you can specialize at SAIS. The core courses give you a tool of interpretation of world politics; and I think it is a quality bench mark that SAIS graduates are also knowledgeable in the broad picture.
