Concentrations

In addition to the required core courses, as an MPP student, you select a set of additional concentration courses and experiences that provide you with an integrated portfolio of professional preparation. You are encouraged to take the Portfolio Preparation Course, PA 5920 (section 1), to create and maintain a record of experiences that will aid you in reflecting on your development as a scholar and professional and ultimately prepare you for the job market. To guide you in selecting courses, you may use the following predesigned concentrations within the field of public policy or create your own selection of courses under the guide of your faculty and professional advisers.
