The Ford School’s Master of Public Policy (MPP) is a two-year program of study that trains students with a broad range of policy interests for a wide set of jobs--providing a toolbox of research, analytical, and management skills that are highly transferable across sectors and issue areas

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Core courses of the Master of Public Policy (MPP) develop a foundation of skills, knowledge, and concepts in economics, statistics, political analysis, ethics, and public management. All students receive serious quantitative training in data analysis and program evaluation, moving as a cohort through a carefully sequenced set of courses.

Students then have tremendous flexibility in choosing from advanced classes in social policy, international trade, education, national security, human rights, politics, and more. They combine their policy courses with electives from elsewhere around the U-M, including its outstanding professional schools—law, business, education, and urban planning, to name a few—or one of the top-ranked social science departments.

Students apply what they have learned in the classroom, gaining hands-on, practical policy experience. In the summer between their first and second year of study, they complete a policy-related internship. While not required, students are encouraged to take a Strategic Public Policy Consulting course, enabling them to do real-world policy consulting with classmates under faculty supervision. Students may also choose to pursue a dual-degree, combining the MPP with simultaneous study in another graduate school program.

COURSE OF STUDY

Students are generally in residence at the Ford School for two years (four semesters) and are also required to complete a 10-week internship in a policy-related position. The degree requires completion of 48 credit hours (most courses are three credit hours), with a total of 36 credits required within the Ford School.
