Master of Public Policy

The Master of Public Policy (MPP) is a two-year professional degree designed to provide students with the skills, expertise and networks to identify problems and create the solutions. The MPP curriculum consists of two components - a core set of courses (27 credits total) that provide a foundation in governance, quantitative skills and the practice of public policy and elective courses that allow a deeper dive into a particular area of interest. Students may use elective credits to complete one or two specializations, and/or pursue general policy interests. Specializations include environmental policy, international development policy, international security and economic policy, leadership and management, nonprofit management and leadership, public financial management, social policy, health policy, education policy, and a self-design option. Students must complete 48 credits to earn the MPP degree.
