About This Program

Often, there are important lessons that cannot be adequately taught using a traditional lecture format. Successful humanitarian practitioners need to actively test and experiment to develop skills and confidence in dynamic situations.  For these reasons some courses require new digital platforms or simulation exercises that can better capture the realities and complexities of humanitarian practice. With a focus on the case method and analytical decision-making, the Curricular Innovation Program is committed to fusing rich course content with experiential education.
