Brown’s master’s students are supported by their departments as well as the Center for Master’s Student Excellence in the Division of Master’s and Professional programs. A dedicated team at the Center provides student support, career services and professional development, and engagement opportunities.

Center for Master's Student Excellence

For some master’s programs, Individualized career advising is available through your particular master degree program rather than through the Center for Master’s Student Excellence. If you are interested in meeting directly with a career advisor, your master degree program will have dedicated staff to support you.

Master of Public Affairs (MPA) Students

Students enrolled in the Master of Public Affairs (MPA) program in the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs can access career advising support with Benjamin Chalot, the Associate Director of Professional Development and Alumni Engagement for the MPA program.

MPA students can also learn about MPA-specific career programs, events, and opportunities on the Watson Institute’s student resources site.
