The Thomas Jefferson Program in Public Policy (MPP)

Job Placement

There is strong market demand for the quantitative skills that are an important part of the core of our program. Much of this demand comes from various levels of government. There is also a strong demand for public policy master's students in the private sector.

Many large regulated firms (e.g., financial institutions, public utilities, pharmaceuticals, and firms in the transportation and communication sectors) have divisions that 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.

William and Mary's locational advantages (proximity to Washington, D.C., Richmond, Norfolk and several medium-size cities) contribute to our effectiveness in placing graduate students into internships and creating a network for future employment.
