The MDP Program is supported by numerous faculty members from over 7 schools and 20 different departments, centers and research institutions at the University of Florida.
The program prepares students to take integrated approaches to advancing economic opportunity, public health, political empowerment and environmental conservation in Latin America, Africa and other regions of the world.

"One of my favorite things about the MDP program at UF was the broad interdisciplinary nature of the courses I took. I enjoyed the challenge of learning about so many different topics, especially through working closely with classmates from different disciplinary backgrounds. The relaxed, intimate environment of the students and faculty made it rewarding to work and learn together. I am interested in pursuing a career in program evaluation, and MDP has prepared me well for the diversity of programs I hope to work with in my future." |
