Violent conflict. Racism and civil rights. Homelessness and economic inequality. Global climate change. These are just a few of the issues that dominate our local, national, and international news.
At the McCormack Graduate School, we do not shy away from these wicked problems. Our faculty, research staff, and graduate students are committed to addressing these daunting challenges with new research, tools, and policy solutions informed by values-driven, inclusive approaches to problem-solving, here and abroad.
