1. 과정 개요

듀크대학 국제개발 석사과정은 정책대학원내 개설된 과정으로, 주로 저개발국과 개도국의 경제개발에 관한 이슈에 초점을 맞춘 과정입니다. 한 해 입학하는 50-60명의 학생들은 90% 이상이 미국 국적을 가지고 있지 않은 외국인으로, 연령대는 20대 후반에서 40대 중반까지 다양하며, 주로 정부기관, NGO, 은행, 국제기구에서 근무한 경험을 가지고 있습니다. 학생들 상당수가 졸업 후 World Bank 등 국제기구에 취업하는 것을 목표로 하고 있어, 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 사항들에 대해 굉장한 열정을 가지고 공부하고 토론하는 모습을 볼 수 있습니다.

2. 개설과목 및 이수학점

  동 과정에 개설된 과목의 주요 초점은 경제발전론, 정책분석 및 평가, 프로젝트 분석, 대외원조, 현금흐름 분석, 무역, 금융, 노동, 중소기업 발전, 국제분쟁 조정, 지배구조, 반부패 등으로 그 스펙트럼이 무척이나 광범위 합니다. 여기 교수들도 Inter-disciplinary study를 늘 강조할 정도여서, 경제학 등 특정 학문에 크게 편중되어 있지는 않은 것 같습니다.

18개월 과정으로 온 학생의 경우에는 48학점을, 1년 과정인 경우에는 30학점을 이수하도록 되어 있는데, 제가 다니고 있는 1년 과정을 중심으로 설명 드리도록 하겠습니다.

  일단 졸업에 필요한 30학점 이외에 별도로 영어 6~7학점을 의무적으로 이수하도록 되어 있는데요, 회화 위주의 ESL 과정이 아닌 영작문과 presentation으로 구성되어 있습니다. 정규 과목을 능가할 정도로 과제와 요구사항이 많아 조금은 피곤한 과정이기도 합니다. 하지만 그동안 한국인들이 소홀히 했고 현업에서 늘 부족하게 여겼던 분야를 체계적으로 교육하기 때문에 다른 정규과목을 이수하는데, 그리고 나중에 현업에 복귀한 이후에 실질적인 도움이 될 것이라는 게 여기 학생들의 공통된 의견인 것 같습니다.

  일반적으로 봄 학기(1월 중순에서 5월초)에는 정규 네 과목(즉, 12학점)과 영어 한 과목(3학점)을 포함해서 총 15학점을 수강하게 되고, 가을 학기(8월말에서 12월초)에도 영어 포함 15학점을 수강해야 합니다. 정규 학기중에는 과목당 1주일에 두 번씩 수업이 있고, 수업은 보통 1시간 15분 진행됩니다. 또한 봄 학기와 가을 학기 중간에 우리나라 계절학기 비슷한 Summer term이 운영되는데, 저희 같은 경우는 1개월 반(5월 중순에서 6월말) 동안 학부 과정에 개설된 과목 두 개를 이수하게 됩니다. 여름 학기는 과목당 월요일에서 금요일까지 매일 수업이 있어서 다소 빡빡한 느낌이 있습니다.

  그리고, 졸업을 위해서는 Master’s project 라는 정책분석 보고서(학위논문 보다는 경량급이라고들 하더군요...)를 준비해야 하고요, 분량은 Single space 기준으로 30-35페이지를 요구합니다.

 

3. 수업 진행방식 및 부담

  동 과정은 국제문제에 관한 실무 전문가를 양성하는 것을 목표로 하고 있기 때문에, 순수한 이론이나 정교한 접근방식에 관해서는 크게 중점을 두고 있지 않습니다. 대신 실제 문제를 분석하고 해결하는 능력을 배양하는 데 많은 시간을 할애하고 있어, 수업 역시 세미나 방식으로 진행되며 질의와 토론이 주를 이루고 있습니다.

  대부분의 과목이 중간고사와 기말고사 이외에 Group report, Presentation, Current event report, Assignment를 수시로(사실은 Syllabus에 계획되어 있는 대로) 주기 때문에, 주중에 이를 준비하는 데 많은 시간이 소요되는 것이 사실입니다. 이런 부담에도 불구하고 그동안 자신들이 경험했던 분야에 관련된 과목을 수강하게 되면, 자신들의 전문성을 생생하게 전달하는 것은 물론 가다듬어지지 않았던 사고를 정리할 수 있다는 이점이 있습니다.

 

4. 휴식기간

  학생들이 수업을 따라가느라고 심신이 지칠 무렵이면 적절한 휴식기간이 주어지는 것 같습니다. 올 해의 경우에는 봄 방학이 일주일(3월 13일에서 3월 20일), 봄 학기 끝나고 여름 학기 시작하기 전까지 열흘(5월 8일에서 5월 18일), 여름방학(7월 1일에서 8월 28일) 등이 예정되어 있습니다. 가을 학기 중간 중간에도 4-5일 정도의 휴식기간이 주어집니다.

 

5. 사전에 준비하시면 좋은 사항

  많은 한국 학생들이 영작문 능력이 부족해서 고전을 면치 못하는 경우가 많기 때문에, 가능하다면 미리 영작문 책(한글이 아닌 영어로 된)을 구해서 충분히 대비를 하고 오시면 좋습니다. 이 외에도 파워포인트, 엑셀도 기본적인 연습이 되어 오면 금상첨화 이겠지요.

The faculty’s teaching, research and consulting experience encompasses a broad range of development policy issues. DCID’s most recent research projects have focused on technology transfer, communities and sustainable forestry in the developing world, agricultural and industrial policy, privatization and state-owned enterprises, economic development, and natural resource policy. The Center also sponsors the Master of International Development Policy (MIDP), which provides from one and two-years Master’s degrees that focus policy analysis and problems related to sustainable economic development. The Mission of the MIDP is: (1) to provide a top-quality, personalized education in international development policy to mid-career professionals; and (2) to make recognized contributions to global knowledge and practice of international social, political, and economic development. 1) Outline of Program   Master of International Development Policy (MIDP) The Master of International Development Policy (MIDP) program at the Duke University Center for International Development (DCID) is designed for mid-career professionals seeking to dedicate their careers to policy making and public service in developing countries and countries in transition. The MIDP provides interdisciplinary training in policy analysis on issues related to long term social and economic development. In contrast to most graduate programs in the development field, the MIDP is structured to cross the boundaries of academic, technical, managerial, and professional training. Upon successful completion of the program, MIDP Fellows will receive a Master of International Development Policy degree.   2) Program Requirements   For 1-year Degree -          Classes: 10 courses (30 credit hrs.) / 4 MIDP seminars & 6 electives -          Internship: Recommended -          Master’s Project: Required -          Length: 1 academic year and 1 summer session Participants in the Program―known as MIDP Fellows― represent diverse nationalities, academic interests, and professional backgrounds. Most are citizens of developing and transition countries and worked for their government, nongovernmental organizations, the private sector, and research institutions. Others are citizens of developed nations who are committed to assisting developing countries through their service in foreign assistance agencies, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, or other development institutions. Economists, urban planners, environmental activists, engineers, lawyers, agronomists, educators, legislators, diplomats, researchers, and other professionals from the public and private sector have all taken part in the MIDP. After completing the program, Fellows have served both in their home countries and in international agencies at senior levels as public officials, policy analysts, independent researchers, and leaders of non-governmental organizations. In all these countries, decisions made in public, private, and international institutions have enormous consequences for sustainable development. Policy makers must consider the often subtle interactions among competing factors, the limited availability of accurate information, and the high costs associated with unsuccessful policy decisions. Within these complex and constantly changing situations, sound policy analysis is essential to balance the economic, social, political, and environmental interests and their effects on sustainable development, and a more peaceful world. Recognizing that real world decision makers require training that enhances their ability to solve policy problems, the MIDP takes an interdisciplinary approach. Through participation in small, core seminars focusing on development-related topics, MIDP Fellows receive a firm grounding in development theory and policy analysis. The flexible program design allows Fellows to choose graduate-level course electives in any department and to undertake independent research related to their individual interests. Simultaneously, Fellows work together to develop recommendations for policy design and implementation drawing on the latest approaches explored in the seminars and workshops with faculty, practitioners, and other experts. This work may result in policy papers that are published as working papers or used as case studies for future teaching and research. Summer Internships Internships are a mandatory and fulfilling core component of the two-year degree program and are optional for the one-year degree program. Internships allow Fellows to put theory and class discussions into practice as temporary staff of US or international organizations. In view of both their professional experience and the quality of their academic training, Fellows are usually given important substantive assignments which may also guide them in their choice of topic for their Master’s Project. The personal and professional contacts established often develop into long-term professional relationships or follow-up assignments.   Master’s Project All Fellows pursuing a Master’s degree, in either the one or two-year programs are required to complete a Master’s project related to policy issues they intend to address upon completion of the Program. The Master’s project is publicly presented to the DCID community in the final semester. Recent Master’s projects have included: -          Strategies for Reform in the Electricity Sector in India -          Small and Medium Enterprise Policy in Thailand -          The Case for an Expanded Response: Strengthening Sustainable Community -          Mobilization Interventions to Mitigate the Impact of HIV/AIDS on Children and Families in the Heavily Impacted SADC Countries -          Reforming India’s Public Sector Banks―Is privatization the answer? -          Export Orientation and WTO Accession Policies for Uzbekistan -          Artisan Enterprise Development and International Trade Policy Governance in Rwanda: Institutional Obstacles to Economic Reforms -          Income Distribution in Ukraine in the Period of Transition from a Planned to a Market Economy -          Community Participation in Urban Upgrading: A Survey in Brazil -          Pollution Charges Policy in Kazakhstan -          Promoting the Sustainable Return of Refugees in Post-conflict Situations -          The Reintegration of Demobilized Armed Forces: The Case of Cambodia -          Tourism and Development: The Case of Botswana -          Rethinking Knowledge-Intensive Industry Location Policy in Japan -          Promotion of Regional Development in the Transcaucasus through Institutionalization of Epistemic Communities -          A Strategy to Reform State-Owned Enterprises in Vietnam -          Software Industry Promotion Policy in Korea -          Transparency in Light of Fiscal Decentralization in Mongolia -          Human Resource Development: Agriculture Entrepreneurship Training for School Learners 3) Admissions Eligibility Requirement
Applicants with five or more years of relevant work experience are eligible to apply. Admission to the MIDP is competitive, based equally upon the applicant’s professional and academic credentials, written application, English proficiency (as demonstrated by the Test Of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), and statements of recommendation. All applicants must have the academic background to undertake graduate- level work. Duke University requires official transcripts demonstrating completion of a four-year Bachelor’s degree or equivalent and of all other post-secondary degrees obtained. In addition, candidates for the one-year MIDP must have at least one year of prior graduate level coursework and strong economics. A high level of spoken and written proficiency in English is absolutely essential to Fellows’ success in the Program. The University administers a listening and writing test to all newly enrolled Internationals to verify their English abilities. Depending upon the results of these tests, MIDP Fellows may be required to take a course in written and spoken English during their first year of study. Financial Assistance
The vast majority of Fellows secure their own financial support to cover their participation in the Program, either through their employer, government, foundations, or other funding agencies that have fellowship programs targeting their home countries. The search for funding should begin as early as possible (at least one year in advance), as most agencies have early application deadlines. A list of some of the foundations, agencies, and programs that offer financial support for graduate study is available from DCID. This list is not the only source of information. As funding agencies change information and application deadlines each year, it is best to contact them for the most recent and accurate information on funding opportunities. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply to as many funding agencies as they are eligible. A Complete Application Includes: 1.       An official undergraduate transcript with degree posted. The term “transcript” may not be a familiar term to some applicants. In the U.S. a transcript includes the following information:

• the dates you attended the institution
• the titles of the specific courses or subjects in which you were enrolled
• the number of hours of instruction involved in each course or subject
• the grade, mark or some other form of evaluation you received for each course or subject
• any degree, diploma, or certificate awarded for completion of your studies

To be considered an official transcript the document (s) must contain the institution’s stamp or some other form of certification that clearly indicates authenticity.
