Student Testimonial
This program taught me skills I didn’t think I needed to learn, and now I see them as essential. I wanted to work in the urban policy environment, and I didn’t have it in mind that we always need to have an economic view on policies before even treating the administrative and legal aspects, because everything is driven by economics.
