Intensive Course Week

Track options:

Students learn how international and non-governmental organizations in Geneva are addressing today’s global challenges.

During the week, students meet with practitioners, visit Geneva-based IGOs and NGOs, attend networking events, gain professional coaching, join group case simulations, and write a policy memo. This rigorous week shapes students’ professional and personal ambitions.

Completion of all course assignments—including work prior to, during, and after the intensive course week in Geneva—will enable a participant to earn 2.0 credits through the Duke University Sanford School of Public Policy.
