History

The Fletcher School was founded in 1933 at the bequest of Austin Barclay Fletcher who left over $3 million to Tufts University upon his death in 1923. A third of this was to go to a school of law and diplomacy "to prepare men for the diplomatic service and to teach such matters as come within the scope of foreign relations." The school opened in 1933 as a collaborative project between Harvard University and Tufts University. Tufts University would later assume sole responsibility for administrating the school but the Fletcher School has continued to cooperate closely with other universities. In addition to the various joint programs offered, Fletcher students can also take classes at MIT and Harvard's Kennedy School of Government as well as Harvard Business School. 1933 (MCMXXXIII) was a common year starting on Sunday. ...

Organization and faculty

The Fletcher School is under supervision of a dean, appointed by the president and the provost, with the approval of the Trustees of Tufts College (the university's governing board). The dean has responsibility for the overall administration of the school, including faculty appointments, curriculum, admissions and financial aid, student affairs, development, and facilities.

Furthermore, Fletcher professors occasionally offer courses in the College of Liberal Arts or allow undergraduates to enroll in the graduate classes. The undergraduate international relations program, the largest major in the College of Liberal Arts, has its offices in the Cabot Intercultural Center, the main building of the Fletcher School complex.
