The MA in Social Innovation (MASI) is a 30-unit, flexible, part-time program designed for completion within 15-24 months, with an accelerated 9-month option available. The curriculum is structured around five core learning goals: understanding complex social issues, design experimentation, implementation and impact assessment, design thinking, and problem-solving.
Through hands-on opportunities like the Social Innovation Practicum—where students work as consultants for organizations addressing critical social issues such as homelessness and food insecurity—students gain practical experience and valuable insights that equip them to advance their careers in social innovation.
