Program: College of William and Mary - Public Policy
Description: The Master of Public Policy degree is designed to prepare students for demanding professional careers as policy analysts. MPP graduates work in the public sector and with the broad range of private firms that in-teract closely with government entities at the Federal, state and local levels. The bet-ter the foundation, the greater the career potential, and so the MPP program at Wil-liam and Mary emphasizes developing strong analytic and statistical skills. A range of elective classes in various policy fields allows students to pursue their particular pol-icy interests. Program Structure: The MPP program, limited to twenty-five new students each fall, is a two-year, full-time program with a required internship in the summer between the two academic years. The first year consists largely of required courses grounded in economics, government and law. In the second year, a range of electives in public policy, law, business, marine science, and other disciplines are available. Areas of emphasis include education policy, environmental policy, health care policy, interna-tional trade, regulatory policy, and state and local policy. Internships: An internship during the summer between the first and second years is an important, hands-on element of the MPP program. Students intern in govern-ment agencies private consulting firms, advocacy organizations, or other organiza-tions involved in the public policy process. Joint Degree Programs: Joint degree programs are available with the nationally ranked schools of Law (MPP/JD), Business (MPP/MBA) and Marine Science (MPP/MS or MPP/PhD), and with the Mathematics Department (MPP/MS in Opera-tions Research). Admission to both programs is required, although in many instances students are accepted to a joint program after their arrival at William and Mary. Placement: There is strong demand for policy analysts with the quantitative skills that define the Thomas Jefferson Program in Public Policy MPP. An important part of this demand comes from various levels of government, but there is also a large de-mand for public policy master's students in the private sector. Many large regulated firms have divisions which require the skills of a public policy analyst. Consulting firms and the not-for-profit sector are two other major employment opportunities commonly open to public policy analysts. For both internships and career placements, William and Mary's locational advantages (proximity to Washington, D.C., Richmond, Norfolk and several medium size cities) contribute to our effectiveness in career placement. Special Opportunities: On the Williamsburg campus and in our offices in Wash-ington, D.C., William and Mary's Public Policy Program brings the real world into your learning experience. On campus, the Center for Public Policy Research provides the base for bringing client driven projects into the curriculum. First-year MPP students attend a three-day Washington conference examining the breadth of career opportu-nities available to policy analysts. All MPP students are invited to attend monthly "Fri-days in DC" programs, at which students have informal access to high-level policy-makers and policy analysts. Other career events in Williamsburg and Washington occur throughout the year.
