School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS)
SAIS is an urban campus comprised of three buildings on Massachusetts Avenue in northwest Washington, DC. These are the Rome Building at 1619 Massachusetts Avenue, the Bernstein-Offit Building at 1717 Massachusetts Avenue, and the Nitze Building at 1740 Massachusetts Avenue. SAIS classes are held in all three buildings, while the library, student lounge, cafeteria, and most administrative offices are housed in the Nitze Building.
SAIS offers guided tours of our Washington, D.C. campus prior to information sessions. Visitors can reserve space in one of our student-led tours by completing an online registration form. Prospective students are also welcome to explore our facilities on their own by securing a visitors pass at the front desk of the Nitze Building. Please note that the best time to visit SAIS is during the semester, throughout which classes are in session, students populate the campus, and Information Sessions are conducted by the Admissions Office. Self-guided tours are available in the Admissions Office on non-tour days.
