SocioAnalytics provides small group intensive four to six-week programs in select middle-income countries to study specific regional challenges and crises. The programs include a combination of coursework, mini-internships, and networking events to introduce learners to their professional counterparts working in the host country. The short course is designed to foster collaborative partnerships between program participants and host country professionals that lead to funded research and/or service collaborations and employment opportunities for graduate and professional level participants. Learners will interact with the region’s leading academics, government ministries, United Nations organizations and non-governmental organizations.
