Master of Arts in Policy Studies

Founded in 2001, the Master of Arts in Policy Studies is designed for a small cohort of students who seek to become agents of change through policy analysis, research, and implementation. The policy studies curriculum enables students to develop foundational skills in policy analysis and to apply those skills in policy arenas ranging from health care and the environment to labor and human rights.

Graduate education in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences links theory and practice to develop creative and critical thinkers and doers. We offer evening programs for working adults that emphasize interdisciplinary inquiry, collaborative learning, dedicated faculty mentorship, and small class sizes.
