Welcome to the
Master of Public
Policy Program
Educating policy analysts to make
a difference in our world
The University of Utah Master of Public Policy (MPP) program emphasizes policy and economic analysis combined with quantitative courses to build analytical capacity to effectively solve different policy problems. These core skills are valuable in national, state, and local government, "think tanks," consulting firms, nonprofit groups, and private companies in the United States and around the world. Public administration programs often feature management courses, and explorations of public organizations and budgeting. Compared to public administration programs, the scope of the MPP curriculum prepares students for a broader range of careers in both the public and private sector. We offer a professional degree program, joint JD/MPP and combined Bachelors/Masters degrees - all with the ability to pursue a policy area you care about.
