MS-DSPP Outcomes

The program combines the historic strengths of the McCourt School’s public policy analysis curriculum with the cutting-edge computational, mathematical, statistical methods training of the Georgetown Graduate Analytics program.

The MS-DSPP trains students to apply data science methods to public policy questions– like economics and job creation, health and health care, and education– in new and innovative ways.

Oriented towards public service and civic engagement but relevant in the private and nonprofit sectors, graduates of the MS-DSPP program will not only be trained in the tools of data science and quantitative public policy analysis, but also in communicating their solutions effectively in the policy world.
