Program Description

The Master of Public Policy (MPP) program at the Trachtenberg School prepares students to dig deep into the data and the details as they explore the theories behind the public policy that shapes our governments and our world.

In addition to core coursework, MPP and MPA students choose a field of study tailored to their unique interests and career objectives, either from the list of pre-approved options or designed in consultation with an advisor. All master's students at TSPPPA also complete a capstone project for a client of their choosing.
