APPLY YOUR NEWLY DEVELOPED SKILLS ON THE GROUND, BEFORE GRADUATION. Our programs’ curricula are designed for you to make an impact while you’re still at Heller. Students in the Sustainable International Development program spend their second year in field practicums at leading development organizations around the world, ranging from the U.N. Development Programme and the World Bank to Oxfam and the Aga Khan Foundation, while those in the Conflict Resolution and Coexistence program conduct master’s field projects in global conflict areas.
Domestically, MPP students gain policy experience through funded internships at influential organizations, such as the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and the Urban Institute in Washington, D.C., qualifying them for high-level policy work upon graduation. Our MBA students advise nonprofit organizations on operational issues through our unique Team Consulting Project and Board Fellows programs. At Heller, you will build a professional network while you build real-world experience.
THE TEAM CONSULTING PROJECT IS LIKE BEING IN A PRESSURE COOKER — WE ARE ADDRESSING REAL ISSUES RELATED TO EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION IN A SHORT TIME, AND IT HAS CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS ORGANIZATION-WIDE PRACTICES. CARMEN MAIANU, MBA’16
