This fall, the Munk School may welcome returning international graduate students from Harvard Kennedy School for the second year of their program should they be unable to remain or re-enter the United States due to visa restrictions.
Through this arrangement, HKS returning students would have the option of continuing their degrees as visiting students at the Munk School. These students would take a mix of courses taught by HKS faculty (both online and in-person) and University of Toronto faculty.
We have extended this offer to help international students sustain academic momentum and community and to give students from both schools the opportunity to connect with their counterparts and the broader U of T community.
The students from HKS would be enrolled as full-time, non-degree students at the Munk School, and their participation would not reduce the number of spaces available for U of T students in any academic programs or in university housing. HKS students who participate in this program would pay tuition and fees to HKS, and in turn, HKS would cover Munk School’s associated costs.
During their time in Toronto, visiting students from HKS would have full access to a wide range of co-curricular activities and student life experiences. Students from both schools would have the opportunity to engage together in co-curricular and other shared activities such as panel discussions and talks throughout the year.
