Master of Public Policy (MPP)

Program Overview

The Master of Public Policy (MPP) empowers future leaders with the skills and vision to shape meaningful change. Grounded in practical and applied training, this two-year, full-time program prepares students to navigate the complexities of policy-making and implementation with confidence and clarity.


Program Details

The MPP consists of a core curriculum, a summer internship after the first year, a second-year policy analysis project, and electives chosen from among both GSPP and broader UC Berkeley classes. The curriculum emphasizes:


  • social science methodologies for data collection, analysis, and program evaluation
  • understanding political institutions and processes
  • economic analysis and other applications of quantitative analysis and modeling, as well as the use of statistical software
  • legal analysis of public policy and the role of courts and administrative law
  • written and verbal communication

The Community

GSPP is a small, diverse, tight-knit, and supportive community. Faculty prioritize their teaching and time with students. Dedicated student services and career advisors provide personal, individualized attention. Friendships made at the Goldman School—among students, faculty, staff, and alumni—often last a lifetime.
