The Jackson Institute's Master of Public Policy (M.P.P.) stands distinct among global affairs graduate programs. Its interdisciplinary four-course core curriculum equips students with essential concepts, analytical frameworks, and leadership skills for international challenges. This compact core not only enables students to explore solutions for their chosen global concerns but also offers exceptional freedom to craft personalized academic paths by leveraging Jackson's extensive course offerings and university-wide resources. Designed for intimacy, the M.P.P. program welcomes approximately 35 students per cohort who, with varied professional backgrounds and aspirations, cultivate a tight-knit academic community. This intentionally small scale fosters vibrant exchanges as students learn from each other while gaining exposure to the multifaceted nature of global affairs. Graduates depart with enduring professional networks spanning public service, NGOs, and private industries across diverse specialties including security studies, economic policy, diplomacy, human rights advocacy, international banking, and environmental governance.
