Alumni
The Master of Global Human Development (GHD) gives you a solid grounding in quantitative analysis, economics, project management, program design and evaluation that provide a competitive advantage in post-GHD careers.
Our graduates have gone on to successful careers at multilateral organizations like the World Bank and UNICEF, the sustainability practice of global businesses like Coca Cola, financial institutions like FINCA and the national and local agencies of governments around the world.
“I was drawn to GHD because of the very strong practical, experiential components. The DC internship, capstone project and summer internship abroad supported students to ground their classroom learning experiences. And the fact that many GHD faculty are practitioners really spoke to me.”
