Background
The Vancross Institute for International Diplomacy was founded in 1891. It is considered the place where the next generation of world leaders go to study politics, diplomacy, and how to avoid scandal. The university offers a master's degree for its students.

Historically, the student body was mostly royalty, but as monarchies decreased worldwide, that number has decreased as well. Currently, there are five members of royalty in the student population. There are also no fraternities or sororities at Vancross Institute.
