Introduction

Now Accepting Applications Spotting the need for change isn't hard and it is possible to make a difference; all you need is a passion for social change and the skills necessary to put your ideas into action. Leading social change is hard work that requires innovative vision backed by entrepreneurial skills and a deep understanding of the problem at hand. Students pursuing a Master of Arts in Social Innovation (MASI) look critically at the roots of social challenges and injustice, then seek to create real change through bold new responses to poverty, inequality, human rights abuses, and humanitarian crises. No other master's degree brings together the unique skills and expertise gained at a peace school in collaboration with leadership, humanities, and business. The MASI program provides a deep understanding of some of humanity's most urgent social challenges – obtained through classes like Social Entrepreneurship, Leadership & Organizations, and Impact Evaluation - and then pairs that knowledge with critical thinking, inventiveness, leadership, and sustainable business design. Why Choose a Master's in Social Innovation from the Kroc School? Only MA in Social Innovation rooted at a Peace School. The Fowler Global Social Innovation Challenge provides up to $50,000 in seed funding and offers students a unique opportunity to receive coaching, mentorship, and pitch experience.
