About Us 
The University of Utah Master of Public Policy program began in 2006 as a response to the growing need expressed by students and professionals to educate and train leaders who can understand, analyze, and evaluate public policy issues through a multi-disciplinary approach. Public policy is becoming increasingly challenging and complex. It is present in nearly every context of the labor market and community, be it economic, political, domestic, or international. Many government and nonprofit organizations in the state have expressed a need for individuals who can not only manage, but also perform analytical work to address policy questions and effectively communicate the analysis to others.
Currently, The University of Utah Master of Public Policy program is the only one offered within the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE).
