Overview

You’ll learn from experts in their policy fields, connect with policy practitioners and leaders working inside and outside of Washington, D.C., and become intimately familiar with major public policy issues and debates. This is a degree for students who want to make change happen to build a better, more sustainable, future for their communities, state, country and planet.

In the Master in Public Policy from University of New Hampshire, you’ll create a personalized degree based on your interests and graduate with the skill sets that today’s policy professionals need to succeed —analytical expertise, strategic communication skills and the tools for advancing a policy agenda. Built into the unique MPP degree curriculum are experiential learning opportunities designed to deepen and broaden your education.

These include meeting with key policymakers in Congress, the White House, government agencies, advocacy groups and more throughout your semesters on campus and during our Washington, D.C., colloquium. Build practical experience through a policy internship and capstone project, all while earning your MPP degree in just 14 months.
