项目介绍
Shaping Future Policy
Tomorrow’s policy analysts and change-makers start here. The mission of The Master of Public Policy (MPP) at the AU School of Public Affairs is to prepare students to advance the quality of policy making in a variety of institutional settings. Accredited by the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA), our program instills a blend of substantive analytical reasoning skills and contextual knowledge.
WORLD-CLASS INSTRUCTION, PERSONALIZED ATTENTION
Students in the MPP program gain invaluable insights from leading policy scholars in education, health, social welfare, the environment, and international development. You’ll learn how to formulate and evaluate public policy and communicate that analysis effectively to the people to whom it matters most. Our students explore policy analysis in the context of political and policy processes in the U.S. and abroad, and learn to improve policy using sound evidence and evaluations of costs and benefits. Small class sizes offer an ideal environment to learn about cutting-edge research tools and apply them to issue areas that matter to you.
RICH OPPORTUNITIES FOR REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE
Class time is balanced with experiential learning opportunities. Located in the epicenter of public affairs, where leaders in government and public policy and administration practice their craft, Washington, DC offers unprecedented resources for research, internships, and employment. Campus life is rich with policy talks, conferences, and active student groups. You’ll also find abundant resources through the many academic research centers in the School of Public Affairs, including the Center for Environmental Policy, the Washington Institute for Public Affairs Research, and the Metropolitan Policy Center.
DESIGNED FOR FLEXIBLE LEARNING
AU’s MPP program offers a flexible learning environment that allows you to align your degree with your career goals. There are 11 concentrations, an ideal way to build upon areas of expertise and showcase that expertise on your resume, online portfolios, LinkedIn, and other social media profiles. Most class schedules cater to both full-time and part-time students. Classes start at 5:30 p.m. to allow for work and internships on weekdays.
POSITION YOURSELF FOR SUCCESS
Our MPP program will position you for success in a competitive marketplace. Graduates emerge from the program ready to bring about policy change in the government, non-profit, and private sectors. Whether you want to work locally or globally, the MPP program will arm you with the skills to make important contributions to the world of public policy.
