Biographical / Historical

The Josef Korbel School of International Studies is a professional school of international affairs offering undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees. Studies in international relation began as a department at the University of Denver with the founding of the Social Science Foundation in the 1920's by James H. Causey, Ben M. Cherrington, and Herber R. Harper. In 1964, under the leadership of Josef Korbel, the (mostly undergraduate) department expanded into the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) established in Cherrington Hall, south of the Mary Reed Building.

The Josef Korbel School changed its name to the Josef Korbel School of Global and Public Affairs in July 2025 to reflect a 'broad and integrated approach to global affairs, international relations, public policy, governance, development, and human rights."
