farsoodgee Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 A friend recently asked me about this program and I had honestly never heard of it. MALD seems to get all the attention at Fletcher and while information on the class size for this MAHA program is not available, my guess is that it is very small. Has anyone ever heard of this program- or run into anyone who has been in it? It is a one year mid-career program that is through both Fletcher and the Friedman Nutrition school at Tufts. It seems like an extremely obscure degree. No one on here has ever posted about it before. If anyone has any opinions on it, please post them. Thanks.

emf15 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Second year MALD student here. The MALD is appropriate for those coming out of a couple years of professional experience, or an all-star straight out of undergraduate, looking for that next step to boost or change career paths. The MAHA, on the other hand, is geared towards those with significant experience in humanitarian work (7+ years with Doctors Without Borders, or IRC, for instance) who are most likely looking to go right back into their previous organizations. There is a very small handful of MAHAs each year - maybe 3 maximum. They are required to complete a capstone project and 8 courses within the year, in both Fletcher and the Friedman schools. I'm guessing it doesn't appear here because it's a sort of a one of a kind, very specific degree geared towards very specific kinds of practitioners. chocolatecheesecake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
