MID students promote respect for human life and human rights, often working behind the scenes to bring real improvements to the human condition through hands-on careers in public service. They work face-to-face with underprivileged and vulnerable populations, in the front offices of aid agencies, and in international organizations dedicated to protecting those who need help most. The 48-credit MID degree is designed to prepare students to make a difference locally, nationally, and globally by emphasizing intellectual rigor and practical skills. Students study development theoretically, but also learn concrete technical and managerial skills necessary to work in organizations that promote equality in the developing world. Graduates exit the program prepared for professional work in the United Nations, public aid agencies, and charities of all sizes. Often, they pursue work in the private sector, research groups, and prominent nongovernmental organizations.
