About The Patterson School
The vision to create a school of diplomacy and international commerce came from Dr. James Kennedy Patterson, the first president of the University of Kentucky. Long an advocate for greater American engagement with the world, Patterson saw the 1898 Spanish-American War as evidence that a new school was needed that “shall have for its special object the preparation of young men for the diplomatic and consular service of the United States. It shall also provide special training for those who may seek employment in extending upon rational and scientific lines the commercial relations of America.” Patterson took as his model the programs then being established in Europe and at Harvard, Chicago, Georgetown and Yale.
The Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce provides an exceptional master’s degree program that prepares future leaders for rewarding careers in international affairs. The professional master’s program offers concentrations/majors in four areas: diplomacy; international commerce; international organizations and development; international security and intelligence.
The Patterson School program is focused and flexible. Core courses ensure students acquire a strong foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge. Faculty concentrate on developing students’ analytical, professional writing, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. In addition, an appreciation of international business is increasingly essential to any professional education. At the Patterson School, students are exposed to how major corporations operate in the 21st century. Students engage with key corporate leaders working at the forefront of globalization to Lexington, and they also travel as a group to headquarters, manufacturing, and operating facilities of leading multinational corporations.
With a faculty dedicated to providing an unparalleled learning experience, we ensure students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively maneuver on the world stage. Patterson School faculty are a mix of exceptional scholars and practitioners with decades of experience in diplomacy, commerce, business, defense, development and intelligence. They know firsthand what is needed to succeed in the international arena.
The Patterson School averages 70 full-time, resident master’s students with only 35 new students admitted each year. Keeping the program small, select, and focused allows for an exceptional level of attention, instruction, and interaction. The focus is directly on the students, with seminars, conferences, speaker series, exercises, simulations, and events specially crafted to develop their full potential.
VISION AND GOALS
As Patterson enters its seventh decade, the strategic goals remain clear. A focus remains on world class master’s level education and the selectivity of its student cohort.
