The MIDP degree is tailored specifically to mid-career professionals who are already working on issues of sustainable development, social welfare and policy, economic development, and good governance.
We combine a rigorous core curriculum and nine optional areas of focus ranging from applied economics to peace and conflict resolution to innovation and entrepreneurship.

Our expert faculty bring diverse research, practice, and teaching backgrounds into the classroom. But you won’t just learn from the faculty, you will learn from each other. When you graduate, you will join a global network of alumni from more than 100 countries around the world.
