Master of Arts in Sustainable International Development/Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution and Coexistence

SIDCO graduates work for an increasing number of development organizations which have established units to address the particular program needs in conflict areas and to ensure that their development work connects rather than divides societies. They also work as peace professionals for post-conflict programs when, beyond security, democracy and reconciliation, the tools of sustainable development must be leveraged.

This intensive program is usually completed in 28 months. With special permission from the directors of both programs, an accelerated program can be completed in 21 months. Participants spend their first year in the COEX program, may do their practicum during the 1st or 2nd summer, and spend their second year in the SID program.

A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or a comparable degree from a foreign academic institution is required.
Applicants to the MA COEX program must submit three letters of recommendation. One should be a professional assessment from a supervisor at the institution at which you are employed or were recently employed. The second letter should be an academic assessment from a former professor or advisor.
We do not set a minimum required score for either test, but rather, our admissions committees take a holistic approach to reviewing applications and considers every part of the application carefully. That being said, the majority of our successful applicants tend to have a score of at least 94 on the TOEFL, a 7.0 on the IELTS, or a 115 on the Duolingo English Test.
