Master of Public Policy and Administration
The need for skilled leaders in public policy and administration has never been greater.
Our MPPA program is a unique hybrid designed to illuminate both sides of the work
needed to create and manage public policy. You'll combine a big-picture understanding of the issues we face with techniques
to create solutions and manage their implementation.
