People > MCP/PhD Students
IDG students come from around the world. While some enter the group straight from undergraduate study, the overwhelming majority bring with them at least a few years of work experience. In previous classes, entering students have gained practical experience in the field through work in public and private planning agencies, non-governmental community organizing and advocacy organizations, and a wide array of positions relevant to the field of international development. IDG students bring a wealth of real-world expertise to their classes and interactions with other students and faculty.
You can learn more about our program through the eyes of our students by visiting one of our selected student profiles.
