MPP/SASI

Master in Public Policy/Master in Science in Sustainability and Social Innovation

Students in this dual degree program earn both Georgetown’s Masters in Public Policy (MPP) and the HEC Paris’ Masters in Science for Sustainability & Social Innovation (SASI). The MPP/M.Sc. dual degree will provide multi-disciplinary training in public policy, business and social innovation, international educational experience, and potential work experiences in both Europe and North America for professionals in the early stages of their careers. The dual training in private and public sector analytical and management skills will prepare students well for today’s job market in which professionals frequently have careers that shift across employers, sectors and international borders.

Prospective students interested in applying to the MPP/SASI should complete and submit both the MPP and M.Sc. SASI applications to the respective schools simultaneously. Current students enrolled in the first year of HEC Paris’ SASI program can apply, and current first year students in the MPP program can apply. Please note both programs are taught in English.

For more information about admissions to the HEC’s SASI program, please visit:

The dual degree consists of 36-credit hours of MPP coursework and 69-credit hours of SASI coursework (105 total credit hours) over 24-30 months, rather than the 40 months normally required when completing the degrees separately.
