Students
Each MDP cohort includes an average of 12 to 15 students, a size that facilitates an interactive and personalized learning experience. The MDP program strives to recruit richly diverse cohorts, composed of students with different backgrounds and experiences. They often include returned former volunteers, veterans, and professionals (including lawyers, engineers, business managers, health practitioners, and even a veterinarian!). This pluralism enables students to learn from one another through class discussions, joint projects, and teamwork.
