Heller's MA program in sustainable international development (SID) imparts the knowledge and skills necessary for graduates to design and manage local, regional, national, or international development. Students in the SID program examine models of development, considering whether they are effective, whether they reduce poverty and inequality, and whether they raise the quality of life. Students consider the state of world development, probe issues that affect future generations, and broaden the skills necessary to plan, negotiate, implement, monitor, and evaluate development programs. Students enjoy a year in residence studying with senior researchers and field-level development practitioners, as well as a second-year field project, internship, or advanced study applying and evaluating methods and models of development. A one-year accelerated track is available for those who have at least five years of mid-level management experience in the development field. The Heller School offers a joint MA in Sustainable International Development and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, a dual MA with the Conflict Resolution and Coexistence program, a dual MA/MBA in Sustainable International Development, a dual MA/JD program and a dual MA/LLM program with Northeastern University School of Law. Program of Study The Master's Program in Conflict Resolution and Coexistence at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management focuses on the challenges posed by intercommunal and societal conflicts in today's world. The curriculum of the Master's Program in Conflict Resolution and Coexistence ensures that participants will secure a solid grounding in the theories of contemporary coexistence and conflict work, as well as develop the professional skills to design and implement successful interventions to deal with the challenges of such conflicts. The sixteen-month program involves an academic year in residence studying at Brandeis, followed by a three-month field placement and the completion of a master's field project. Students must successfully complete 32 credits, which include: six required courses (18 credits total), and 14 elective credits. Core courses include: A. Coexistence and Conflict Theory and Analysis (4 credits) B. Responsible Negotiation (4 credits) C. Planning and Implementation for COEX (2 credits) D. Coexistence Research Methods (2 credits) E. Coexistence Intervention, Monitoring and Evaluation (4 credits) F. Mediation Principles and Skills (2 credits) Following a year in the program, students will undertake a three-month internship or independent fieldwork. The project concludes with a master's field paper written under the supervision of a faculty mentor, to be completed by December.
