The MGPS dual degree program, offered in partnership with the UT School of Information, merges in-depth government and policy studies with specialized training for careers in information-centric institutions like government offices, libraries, educational institutions, museums, and similar settings. This interdisciplinary approach addresses growing demands in public and private sectors for professionals skilled in both policy analysis and modern digital information systems. Designed for efficiency, students can complete both degrees in roughly three years through concurrent coursework. Both degrees are conferred upon finishing all required classes and the professional report component.
