The world is at your doorstep at the University of Delaware’s (UD) Lerner College of Business & Economics. Located in Newark, one of the nation’s key business centres, the depth of learning is akin to traversing the globe. As a graduate student, you’re joined by a community that comprises a 44% international student population, hailing from over 100 countries. You’ll be based in between Washington, DC and New York, and surrounded by Delaware’s leading industries like financial services, with companies like Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase just around the corner.

With plenty of opportunities, Lerner’s been growing trailblazers since 1965. Its programmes have seen more than 50 years of accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), privy to less than 5% of business schools worldwide. A selected bunch are STEM-designated, which means they can extend your post-graduate stay in the U.S. by 3 years. State-of-the-art facilities form the framework; expert faculty and experiential learning form the heartbeat.

The MPA at STEaPP helped me develop analytical skills in policy-making, project management and science and technology studies. This highly interdisciplinary programme allowed me to explore the nuances of digital technologies from different perspectives and disciplines. It ultimately prepared me to critically analyse the implications of various technologies in different Global South and Global North contexts.

The programme is also distinctly international, enabling me to develop networking skills among peers worldwide that further internationalise my career as a professional interested in public administration in its various forms. Ultimately, this programme strengthened my skills as a policy analyst and allowed me to expand the diversity of my research as a digital rights activist in Paraguay. It also paved the way for my career as a professional researcher, as I am currently enrolled in a PhD programme at UCL STEaPP.
