Applications being accepted for Master's in Public Policy
My boss always asks me what I learned in class that day
and invariably it applies to what's happening in the
office.

The MPP program is a partnership between the university's Department of Health, Human Services and Public Policy and the Leon and Sylvia Panetta Institute. Application deadline is March 1, 2006, for the class that starts next fall. The 2006 class will total approximately 20 students; classes will be small, interactive, academically rigorous and professionally focused.
Courses are offered in the evenings and on weekends to encourage working professionals to attend. Courses include:
- Congressional and Presidential Politics and Policy, taught by Leon Panetta
- Budget Policy, taught by Mr. Panetta
- Money, Media and Policymaking, taught by Mr. Panetta
- Policy Analysis and Public Action in Diverse Communities, taught by Kim Judson
- Collaborative Leadership and Ethical Policymaking, taught by Brian Simmons and Jerry Endres
Specialized concentrations are available for students interested in electoral politics and policymaking, and health and social policymaking.
Students currently enrolled in the program come from the management ranks of local governments, educational institutions and non-profit organizations; the broad range of professional backgrounds creates a dynamic learning environment.
