Public Policy and Management

The Master of Public Policy and Management (MPPM) is designed for experienced professionals who want to advance their careers, expand their leadership capacity, or transition into public service–oriented roles. Ideal for individuals with a minimum of five years of professional experience beyond entry-level positions, the MPPM recognizes and builds on the knowledge you’ve gained through your work. This applied, career-focused degree prepares graduates to address real-world challenges across government, nonprofit and public interest sectors. Students develop practical policy analysis, management and leadership skills that can be immediately applied in their current roles or leveraged to pursue new professional paths.

Because the program accounts for prior professional experience, students complete just 10 courses (30 credit hours)—significantly fewer than traditional master’s programs. Four required core courses blend theory, applied skills and each student’s professional interests, while electives allow you to tailor the degree to your career goals. Designed with flexibility in mind, MPPM coursework can be completed fully online asynchronously at your own pace.
