The International Education Management and Public Administration tracks at the Monterey Institute are  well paired to provide the student a healthy mix of developmental and managerial tools alongside the study and practice of both current and innovative approaches to international education. Both degrees are individually robust and highly nuanced for the their fields; Public Administration at the Monterey Institute is taught from a rare, developmental-practice perspective and International Education Management is both practica-based and rewardingly learner-centered. With these Graduate-level degrees, I plan to launch my international education development career in tandem with my required practicum experience, starting in June 2015 with an organization that appreciates people and education as genuine social change mechanisms.
