Overview
The Paul H. Nitze
School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS)
The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) was established during World War II by Christian A. Herter and Paul H. Nitze, statesmen who sought new methods of preparing men and women to cope with the international responsibilities that would be thrust upon the United States in the postwar world. The founders assembled a faculty of scholars and professionals to teach international relations, international economics and foreign languages to students. The natural choice for the location of the school was Washington, D.C., a city where American foreign policy was - and continues to be - shaped and set in motion.
SAIS became a division of The Johns Hopkins University in 1950. In 1963, SAIS moved to one of its three present buildings on Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. SAIS also has campuses in Bologna, Italy (established in 1955), and Nanjing, China (established in 1986).
