Overview
The Master of Arts in Public Policy and Evaluation (MAPPE) is joint program offered by the Division of Politics & Economics (DPE) and the Division of Behavioral & Organizational Sciences (DBOS) that combines two highly complementary domains—public policy and evaluation—which are often taught and learned separately. The program places strong emphasis on the politics of outcome evaluation; you’ll develop an understanding of stakeholder and constituent roles in evaluation, empowerment aspects, and the ethical requirements of a policy analyst and evaluator.
The program from Claremont Graduate University (CGU) allows considerable flexibility to construct a degree that builds important skills for a range of careers, especially in nonprofit or governmental settings.
Program Highlights
- Students in the MAPPE program may take policy/evaluation-relevant elective or transdisciplinary courses at any CGU school with the approval of their academic advisors.
- The program offers graduate-only education in small, seminar-style classes taught by highly knowledgeable faculty-scholars.
- You can pursue your MA in conjunction with another degree, such as a Master of Public Health. You earn a diploma for each degree and “double count” some units from one program to the other to decrease your required total units.
