The A. Alfred Taubman Center for Public Policy and American Institutions offers two graduate programs that train students to draw upon concepts from political science, economics, education, community health, sociology, and law to develop innovative solutions for issues of real-world significance. Potential areas of concentration include education policy, health-care and social-welfare policy, and urban policy, and activities in law and criminal justice and media and technology. Courses are designed to give students a strong background in interdisciplinary research, analytical approaches, and action-oriented community service. The small size of our program gives students the opportunity to work closely with faculty in teaching and research. An internship, applied research course, and group research project are required of the MPP. The MPP is a two-year program designed for students seeking additional training in public policy. The MPA is more appropriate for mid-career professionals.
