The EMP aims to prepare students to be leaders and problem solvers in advancing economic development in emerging markets. Students come from diverse backgrounds and hail from many countries around the globe. Many recent graduates have embarked on academic careers at universities both in the U.S. and overseas. Others are employed in the public and private sectors globally, and by international agencies and research foundations.

Pillars of Our Approach:

• Real world application – The classes offered by EMP faculty expose students to real-world problem-solving techniques, inside and outside the classroom.
• Case study approach – Case studies are prioritized as learning tools for understanding and analyzing key business elements in emerging markets.
• Capacity strengthening – Through course material and guest lectures, EMP classes strengthen capacity among students to undertake complex challenges in emerging markets in a variety of roles.
