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.

Qualification Requirements

The Jackson Institute for Global Affairs is currently a department within the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Yale (GSAS). However, unlike most of the Ph.D. programs within GSAS, Jackson offers a professional degree for students who are pursuing careers in government, public affairs, and private organizations addressing global issues. As such, our master's degrees are not focused toward an academic career. Regardless of the GSAS application prompts, applicants should tailor their personal statement, and other application components, around their academic and professional background and showcase how these shape their intended focus area at Jackson as well as their future professional plans in the global arena.
Students whose native language is not English and who did not earn their undergraduate degree at a university where English is the language of instruction must also take the TOEFL or IELTS exam. The minimum score required for the TOEFL is 102 on the internet-based exam (iBT) or 610 on the paper-based exam (PBT). A score of 7.5 8 on the IELTS is roughly equivalent to the required minimum
