Public Policy
Drexel's Master of Public Policy (MPP) program is similar in its core curriculum to a Master of Public Administration (MPA) program, as it is designed for people who work for or who would like to work for the government or a nonprofit organization. It is innovative and distinct in at least two key respects: its focus on case study research and its distinct tracks of specialization. In addition to the core courses, the program has a focus on case study research as a unifying element of the curriculum. Students are required to choose a specific case study topic that they will work on typically for three terms during the program. By the end of the program, students will have produced a polished, in-depth analysis of a specific case that they can use to demonstrate expertise in a given policy area.
Students may craft a specialized course of study within their proscribed electives or follow one of six different tracks in economic policy, education policy, environmental policy, health policy, information policy, and nonprofit management. Courses are offered through multiple schools within Drexel University, including the Center for Public Policy in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Bennett S. LeBow College of Business, and the College of Computing & Informatics. There is a wide variety of offerings to fulfill these requirements.
