Seminar in Managerial and Organizational
Sem in Manag & Organiz Be
Leading health systems that promote population health and deliver high-quality yet efficient health care is a national and global priority. Health systems must learn to improve and innovate, and leaders at the helm of these systems must navigate change and complexity. As future leaders, you will be central to influencing these systems, whether from a position of formal or informal authority. Today, leading health systems effectively requires self-awareness, as well as an understanding of how people and groups behave in organizations. The context in which you work – public health, global health, or health care- presents special challenges and opportunities.
This course is designed to give DrPH students a strong foundation in the managerial and organizational behavior issues associated with leading health systems. The course aims to build management, teamwork, and interpersonal skills that may be put into practice. Concepts from the discipline of managerial and organizational behavior (MOB) will be used as a lens to interpret and understand current health system issues. Students should complete the course with an appreciation of the unique organizational and interpersonal aspects of their context, and with the capacity to understand their unique value to solving some of our most pressing health challenges. The course is designed to allow students to reflect on and apply lessons drawn from personal leadership experience in health systems.

Seminar in Strategic Management
Sem in Strategic Manageme
The Course considers questions of Mission and Vision ("What areas, activities, or business(es) should we be in?") and questions of Strategy and Operations ("How can we perform or compete effectively in this area?"). It covers both strategy formulation ("What should our strategy be?") as well as strategy implementation ("What do we need to do to make this strategy work?"). The Course also addresses additional issues that are critical to the strategic management "process" (e.g. designing planning systems, managing contention, analyzing market context) are considered. We will build the foundation based on “macro” theories of strategic management (i.e., theories focused on organization and firm level decisions).

Master s Thesis in International Affai
Master's Thesis: Intl Aff
Available only to Master of International Affairs students.
The Thesis program is a rigorous, two-semester sequence that enables a select group of students to produce a substantive, publishable piece of original research or policy analysis. Designed for those seeking to strengthen their analytical, methodological, and writing skills, the program culminates in a thesis of at least 35 pages that may take the form of an academic journal article, a policy essay for a broader audience, or a research report suitable for a think tank. A small cohort is admitted each year, combining structured seminars with individualized faculty mentorship to guide students from proposal development through the completion and defense of their final thesis.
The spring writing seminar centers on independent research and writing, with students meeting regularly with the instructor and Faculty-Resource Person and concluding with a final oral defense. Together, the two courses offer an intensive, mentored pathway for students aiming to bridge scholarly research and practical policy application.
