Columbia | SIPA | MPA in Development Practice MPA-DP trains practitioners to understand, develop and implement integrated approaches to sustainable

The MPA degree in Development Practice (MPA-DP or MDP) at SIPA trains current and aspiring development practitioners to design, implement, and manage results-oriented, integrated approaches to sustainable development. The program emphasizes practical technical knowledge and skills training while providing high-level opportunities to work directly with leading development organizations and practitioners in the field. The goal is to train and deploy a new generation of practitioners capable of understanding and crossing institutional, sectoral, and regional boundaries to integrate diverse stakeholders and methodologies to sustainably address complex development challenges. MPA-DP graduates are not generalists, but specialists in integrated approaches to development. They are rising leaders at NGOs, private sector companies, social enterprises, UN agencies, development banks, philanthropic organizations, academic research institutions, government departments and bilateral aid agencies working towards the post-2015 sustainable development agenda
