The Humphrey School was one of the first and remains one of the few public policy schools in the country to allow students to concentrate their studies on women and public policy. CWPP also offers professional development programs for non-profit leaders, elected women, women aspiring to the bench and women candidates for office.
Students from across the world come the Humphrey School to pursue a concentration in women and public policy while obtaining a Master of Public Policy, Master of Urban and Regional Planning, mid-career Master of Public Affairs, or Master of Science.
Internship grants are offered to encourage students to work with grassroots feminist organizations that lack the resources to pay an intern; to enhance students' abilities to pursue job placements closely related to their career goals; and to serve the women's community.
