One billion children live in deep poverty. Six hundred forty million people lack decent shelter. Four hundred million lack safe water. Two hundred seventy million have no health services. Climate change and loss of biodiversity threaten the web of life. Today over 1400 graduates of our Master of Arts in Sustainable International Development (SID) program are working throughout the world to solve these problems – in tiny villages, in large urban slums, as leaders of organizations and ministries, and as advocates for equitable global policies on aid and trade. First year students engage in holistic courses that study political and economic institutions, the allocation of scarce resources, the connection of policy and practice with ecology, demography, human rights and capabilities – and that draws upon intellectual and cultural histories of justice and social change. We equip our students with practical skills in project and program planning and implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and organizational management.
