Why did you choose McCourt? I chose McCourt for its unmatched location in Washington, D.C., where I can engage directly with policymakers and global institutions. Its rigorous quantitative approach, combined with a focus on evidence based policymaking, made it a top choice for me.

What has been the best part of your experience so far? The support system is incredible — both professors who are genuinely approachable and invested in student success, and a collaborative student community that lifts each other up. Beyond the classroom, there’s always an insightful event happening, whether at McCourt or across DC, keeping you constantly engaged and learning.
