Emory MDP curriculum allows students the flexibility to pursue their own interests and career objectives while also acquiring broad academic knowledge relevant to development practice through core courses.

Students must complete 50 credit hours and fulfill 6 competency areas, some requiring specific courses and others being fulfilled by relevant courses that are selected by students and approved by the program.

Students can use the Course Atlas to explore courses taught during a specific semester: actual course availability may change year-to-year and access to courses may depend on pre-requisites, enrollment limitations, and agreements across Emory units. 

Please refer to the MDP Student Handbook for further information.
