The University of Ottawa's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) is a professional public and international policy school in Ottawa, Canada. GSPIA offers a multidisciplinary master’s program (Master of Arts) focusing on public policy and international affairs. Founded in 2007, the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs is the only bilingual school of public and international affairs in Canada, where courses are taught in Canada's two official languages, French and English. The GSPIA has three fields of concentration: public policy, international affairs, and development studies. The program, which is only offered on a full-time basis, also offers a coop option and internship opportunities in Canadian missions abroad. In addition to a faculty complement of more than 30 professors, students benefit from the presence of a number of Senior Fellows including former Canadian diplomats Robert Fowler and Claude Laverdure, as well as respected journalist Jeffrey Simpson.
The GSPIA is home to both the Centre for International Policy Studies and the Centre on Public Management and Policy.
The Desmararis Building is named after Paul G. Desmarais and Mrs. Jacqueline Desmarais.
