Experiential Learning

Students are also encouraged to take Skills Institutes and can participate in the Graduate Practicum Program, both of which provide extensive real world skills in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.

The Practicum is a one-semester, pre-professional experience, which serves as a capstone for the MA program. Student teams complete projects for external client organizations, producing deliverables that address challenges identified by clients in a statement of work. Students work under a site supervisor and a faculty advisor. Each practicum offers real-world experience with project management, client relations, oral presentations, and writing skills. Practicum options change every year, and students can apply to one that best suits their academic and career interests.

Skills Institutes are intensive workshops designed to introduce students to professional skills relevant to careers in international affairs. Taught by experienced practitioners from many fields, these courses allow students to translate theory into practice and gain the competencies sought by today’s employers. This program provides students with the opportunity to focus on tangible skills that are applicable in the workplace. These can include more generalized skills in international affairs or specific skills in peace and conflict resolution. Over the course of 2-3 full days, students are immersed in courses designed to be rigorous and experiential.
