Programs

The MPP provides a set of core skills in economics, quantitative methods, management, and politics, allowing our students to evaluate and respond to today’s most pressing policy challenges. The MPP emphasizes analytical skills, enabling graduates to be highly effective in designing, analyzing and implementing policy in the US and around the globe.

A unique curriculum at the intersection of data science and quantitative public policy analysis, the MS-DSPP equips graduates with cutting-edge computational, analytical, and governance skills.

The MIDP equips students with essential technical and analytical skills necessary to make a positive difference in the world, while delivering expertise in the politics, management, and ethics of development.

The MPM is a mid-career degree that provides current and emerging policy leaders with essential management and analytical skills to advance their careers. The program, which is geared toward students with at least five years of relevant professional experience, strikes a balance among analytics, management, and substance within specific policy areas. Students who enroll full-time can complete the degree within a year.

The Executive Master in Policy Leadership (EMPL) equips students with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively lead in today’s complex, dynamic policy environment. Over 16 months, students participate in ten hybrid courses each composed of a five-day, in-person experience. Central to each course is an alignment with the Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) emphasizing strategic leadership. The McCourt School will pause the EMPL program after the 2021-2022 academic year.
