The Master of Arts in Social Practice and Innovation (MSPI) equips students to integrate theoretical frameworks and methodologies from political science, legal studies, and communication/digital media studies. They apply this knowledge by developing innovative community projects targeting societal issues.
This interdisciplinary MSPI program bridges legal studies, digital communication, and political science, offering diverse analytical tools to tackle modern societal challenges. Students engage with all three fields to design solutions for social issues while fostering community partnerships. The program emphasizes social innovation through developing, implementing, and refining new systems and practices.
The MSPI experience concludes with a Major Research Project (MRP) focused on public engagement. This capstone trains graduates to design and implement creative solutions for complex social and political challenges, driving meaningful societal change.
