Governance & International Public Management, GIPM/MPA


Return to Graduate School of Public and International Affairs Return to: Graduate School of Public and International Affairs

In Spring 2022 the Governance & International Public Management, GIPM/MPA program was terminated. Current students will be given the option to switch to the new structure. By default, students will be allowed to complete the program as it existed when they enrolled until Spring 2027.

Governance and International Public Management provides a comparative perspective on international development, focusing on the ways in which public and nonprofit organizations must adapt to meet the different cultural, political, and economic circumstances of the communities they serve.

It explores how public agencies around the globe, faced with similar problems like poverty, illiteracy, and inequality, have addressed those issues differently in different countries. Students confront the challenges of implementing complex policies in a global, multicultural context. This major focuses on developing the management and analytical skills necessary to take leadership roles in the multilateral sector, governments abroad, or any organization that delivers services internationally. Graduates are well-prepared to pursue careers at the United Nations, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and similar organizations.
