We are no longer enrolling students in this joint degree but we will still help you launch a meaningful career in development through our MA in International Policy and Development.
Our integrated and interdisciplinary curriculum will prepare you to lead in local and global development. Build your expertise in:
Through electives, you will have the opportunity to take additional courses grouped around specific, high-demand, and transferable career competencies.
In your final semester, you will put theory into practice through a semester-long practicum working in the field. On-the-job supervisors and faculty mentors will work closely with you to make the practicum a bridge to full-time employment.
While other graduate schools rely on teaching assistants, our students collaborate closely with our faculty. They combine academic expertise with years of professional experience in major international organizations, including UNCHR (the UN Refugee Agency), USAID, the World Bank, and the U.S. State Department.
