Also known as SIPA, the School of International and Public Affairs is a graduate public policy school. It is based in the International Affairs Building. It was spawned during an era when funding was poured into area studies programs as a result of the Cold War and the United States's post World War II abandonment of isolationism.

Rumors persist that there were initial plans to name the school after former University President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
