Overview

Public Policy at Drexel University is innovative and distinct in at least two key respects: focus on case study research and distinct track of specialization. In addition to the core courses, the program has a focus on case study research as a unifying element of the curriculum.

Key facts:

The curriculum reinforces coursework with a series of accompanying 1-credit, online, Case Study Research co-requisites. Students are required to choose a specific case study topic that they will work on for the duration of their time in the program. In each subsequent Case Study Research course, students continue further research and writing on their chosen case study topic. Thus, by the end of the program students will have produced a polished, in-depth analysis of a specific case that they can use to demonstrate expertise in a given policy area.

Programme Structure

Students take required courses for the MS in Public Policy from multiple schools within Drexel University, including the Center for Public Policy in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Bennett S. LeBow College of Business, and the College of Computing and Informatics. There is a wide variety of offerings to fulfill these requirements.
