Our Students

Our MPA students, and alumni, receive intensive training in administration, economics and quantitative analysis. No two students are the same; the MPA Program’s flexible curriculum gives them the option to specialize in any of the following eight concentrations:

• Economic and Financial Policy
• Environmental Policy
• Government, Politics and Policy Studies
• Human Rights and Social Justice
• International Development Studies
• Public and Nonprofit Management
• Science, Technology, and Infrastructure Policy
• Social Policy

You can expect that our students will have a solid foundation in the fundamentals and special expertise in the areas where you need a professional understanding of the issues. That is why they do so well in the job market, as our annual employment reports show.
