At Heller, you’ll benefit from the diverse perspectives of a highly engaged faculty and an international student population. You’ll develop a deep understanding of the root causes of society’s most pressing social issues, the capacity to analyze and design effective solutions, and the management skills to put your ideas into practice. Whichever cause you are most committed to – ending poverty, improving health policy, protecting the environment, spurring community development, resolving conflict or protecting the rights of women, children and minorities – you’ll develop the broad knowledge and focused skills to better serve the communities you care deeply about and have a positive impact on society. In every classroom and every degree program, you’ll work with students and faculty who are relentlessly focused on improving lives locally and globally through smart social policies and leadership in mission-driven organizations.
