Dreamers look out their window and see an opportunity for improvement, a chance at providing future generations a better tomorrow. Visionaries understand the complex intersection of what is and what could be. While many of us have an interest in improving our communities, policy makers take this ambition and make it a career.

Why choose a Public Policy degree?

Across public, private and non-profit sectors, these policy professionals use quantitative analysis, problem solving, and strong communication skills to institute change. These skills can be learned through experience, but many people find that in order to truly understand and address the increasingly complex issues shaping national or international policies, a postgraduate degree is the gateway to success. From a Masters in Public Policy to a Masters in International Affairs, these programs educate and prepare an international community to address the world’s challenges.

Students can choose from multiple top policy schools on their quest to improve the world and their evaluation will include a variety of factors including a cost/benefit analysis.  Just as in practice, these decision makers need to put together a sound plan and identify their strongest allies on this journey.
