Master of Public Policy faculty members are policymakers, agency heads, budget directors, senior government advisors, and non-profit leaders. 

Students learn to tackle real-life policy problems by working in teams.  The MPP program additionally sponsors events such as candidate forums, guest speakers, career panels and discussions by experts on timely policy Issues.

Students may choose electives in areas of interest including criminal justice, health policy, urban policy and education.  Students are also encouraged to take advantage of the many internship possibilities available throughout the region.

As a full-time student, students may complete the program in a year and a half. Part-time students typically complete the 36 hours required in three to five years.
