The Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota is sponsoring the Fifth Annual Diversity Days event for prospective graduate students, November 1st and 2nd, 2012. Diversity Days is a two day program coordinated to expose students who are historically underrepresented in higher education to master’s programs at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Selected participants will have the opportunity to meet with faculty, current students, and alumni, as well as experience the life of the Humphrey School and the Twin Cities Metro. Selected participants who live over 200 miles away from the Twin Cities Metro will be eligible for a transportation grant up to $400 to cover the cost of airfare and/or car mileage. Diversity Days participants will also have application fees to the Humphrey School waived.
Prospective students will have the opportunity to meet faculty, staff, current students, and alumni, as well as learn more about our nationally ranked graduate programs in Public Policy; Urban and Regional Planning; Development Practice in international development; and Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy. We offer self-designed concentrations in a wide range of domestic and international areas, and we also offer dual degrees with the schools/departments of Law, Business, Public Health, Social Work, and Civil Engineering.
