SIDCO alumni are employed by a growing array of development agencies that have created specialized departments to tackle the unique challenges of conflict zones, ensuring their initiatives foster unity rather than division. Many serve as peacebuilding experts in post-conflict initiatives where sustainable development strategies become crucial alongside security, democracy, and reconciliation efforts.
This rigorous program typically takes 28 months to finish. However, with approval from both program directors, students may opt for an accelerated track that can be finished in 21 months. The first year is dedicated to the COEX curriculum, with the practicum occurring during either summer term, followed by the second year focused on SID studies.

Qualification Requirements
A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or a comparable degree from a foreign academic institution is required.
Applicants to the MA COEX program must submit three letters of recommendation. One should be a professional assessment from a supervisor at the institution at which you are employed or were recently employed. The second letter should be an academic assessment from a former professor or advisor.
We do not set a minimum required score for either test, but rather, our admissions committees take a holistic approach to reviewing applications and considers every part of the application carefully. That being said, the majority of our successful applicants tend to have a score of at least 94 on the TOEFL, a 7.0 on the IELTS, or a 115 on the Duolingo English Test.
