Masters in Social Innovation
University of San Diego
Description
Students learn to contextualize social issues from a variety of perspectives including cultural, political and socio-economic variables, and to use the knowledge to formulate an action plan to meet emerging challenges such as refugee and migration flows, environmental degradation and humanitarian crises. With a MASI degree, students become proficient in sustainable business model design, leadership, communication, human-centered design and problem solving, increasing their potential to develop innovations that will help communities to address poverty and social injustices. Identifying the need for change isn't hard; perhaps the biggest challenge is narrowing down an area of focus. From microcredit to charter schools, hospices to fair trade, restorative justice to clean energy, there are abundant opportunities fro students to apply what they learn.
