When you question a politician’s credentials in the Philippines, is it common to ignore or make scant public release? Well, here is what the web has on Fletcher School according to this URL;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher_School_of_Law_and_DiplomacyThe Fletcher School offers multi-disciplinary instruction leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD).
The vast majority of the students are enrolled in the MALD program, a two-year program that culminates with a thesis. Students concentrate in two out of twenty fields of studies. They can choose between functional fields of study such as: Public International Law, International Organizations, International Business and Economic Law, Law and Development, International Information and Communication, International Negotiation and Conflict Resolution, Human Security, International Trade and Commercial Policies, International Monetary Theory and Policy. Development Economics, International Environment and Resource Policy, Political Systems and Theories, International Security Studies, International Political Economy and International Business Economics as well as regional fields of study like the United States, Pacific Asia and Southwest Asia and Islamic Civilization. Students can also design their own fields of study. Each field consists of three or four different courses. All students have to pass a total of 16 courses in addition to passing foreign language requirements.
Fletcher students can also take classes at MIT and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
Beyond Tufts, the school also maintains joint degree programs with University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, Harvard Law School, Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business, the Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, the University of California at Berkeley, and the Institut supérieur des affaires (graduate school of management) at the École des Hautes Études Commerciales in France.

The question from Rachel’s response is, did she pursue a joint degree program from Fletcher Tufts University and Harvard’s Kennedy School of government or did she just take a class at Harvard?
(Administrator’s comments: Per Rep. Arenas (as posted) , she took a course in Negotiations and Dispute Resolution at JFK School of Government at Harvard University, She graduated at Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy for her master’s degree).
