Introduction

At Heller's two-year Master of Public Policy program, we are committed to the concept of knowledge advancing social justice. We live at the intersection of research and public policy at a top-ten school of social policy, a place where policy impacts people. In a diverse and supportive community, we develop solutions that will expand opportunities more broadly and address persistent inequality. Our MPP program teaches students to think beyond current structures and pursue tangible progress through pragmatic, politically feasible social change approaches. We build an understanding of the broader context around social issues, the systemic inequities that exacerbate them, and the analytical tools necessary to assess root causes and implement equitable solutions. In addition to the core curriculum, you select a concentration from which to take elective courses. Concentrations allow students to deepen their understanding of the roots of many social justice issues and the strategies used in a given policy area, such as health policy, poverty alleviation or women's, gender, and sexuality studies. Each concentration is connected to one of Heller's ten research centres and institutes. MPP concentrations are linked to Heller's renowned research institutes and centres. Students learn how to address critical social problems, such as closing the racial wealth gap or fostering better mainstream inclusion for people with disabilities. MPP internships provide the perfect opportunity for you to utilize the skills you have learned in your first year of coursework and apply them in a concrete way to a social justice issue you care about.
