The Lauder Fit

The Lauder Institute’s cosmopolitan community is as warm as it is driven, and as collaborative as it is competitive. Lauder students thrive in this environment and graduate ready to be the leaders of tomorrow.

Lauder’s joint degree program is demanding. We seek students whose educational credentials, work experience, and past cultural exposure — including advanced knowledge of at least one language other than English — are evidence of the highest degree of potential to excel in our flexible international studies curriculum. We seek students who are excited to grow their intercultural fluency and learn how to make a responsible impact on the world.
