About the MPA/ID Program: The MPA/ID program prepares leaders for careers in international development. This rigorous, economics centered program trains students in analytical and quantitative methods with an emphasis on policy and practice. In addition to a core of required courses, this program also includes an international development internship and a substantial second-year paper.

Admissions Requirements: Applicants must have taken micro and macroeconomics, as well as multivariable calculus. Work experience is strongly preferred. The strongest MPA/ID applicants have at least 2-3 years of professional experience in the field of international development, preferably in a developing country.
