The Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies (also referred to as The Pardee School and Pardee School of Global Studies) is the international relations and public policy school of Boston University. It was officially established in 2014 by consolidating and renaming a number of long-established programs in international and regional studies at Boston University dating back to 1953.[2][3] The current dean of the Pardee School is Scott D. Taylor, an American scholar of African politics and political economy, with a particular focus on business-state relations, private sector development, governance, and political and economic reform.[4][5] The Pardee School has nearly 1,000 students, including about 800 undergraduate students. It offers six graduate degrees, two graduate certificates, five undergraduate majors, and seven undergraduate minors, and also brings together seven centers and programs of regional and thematic studies.[6][7]

The Pardee School was established based on Boston University's long-standing commitment to global education[citation needed] and was made possible by a $25 million gift by Boston University alumnus Frederick S. Pardee.[8][9][10] Prof. Adil Najam, a global development and sustainable development expert and former vice chancellor of the Lahore University of Management Sciences, Pakistan, was named the inaugural dean of the Pardee School.[11] At the conclusion of the 2021–2022 academic year, Prof. Najam stepped down as Dean.[12] On August 31, 2022, Scott Taylor, a former Professor and Vice Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, was appointed Dean of the Pardee School.[13]

The Pardee School employs nearly 40 full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty and Professors of the Practice as well as a variety of adjunct and visiting professors.[14] Through its Centers and Programs, it has an affiliate faculty across Boston University of nearly 200.
