Life After HKS
Graduates of the MPA program assume positions of responsibility in an impressive variety of organizations around the world. Some, sponsored by their governments, return to high-level administrative posts in their home countries. Others take advantage of this turning point in their careers to move into a new sector: from private to public or nonprofit. Some continue to pursue their research and other intellectual interests.
Whatever careers our graduates pursue, many among them will emerge as 21st century leaders. They will invent and implement new approaches to governance, across a broad spectrum of settings. They will change.
