Master in Public Policy - International and Global Affairs

The Master in Public Policy (MPP) curriculum is designed to broaden your perspective and sharpen specific skills to prepare you for a successful career in public service. During your first year, you will take courses to develop professional competencies in: Economics, Ethics, Leadership, Negotiation, Politics, Policy design and delivery and Quantitative analysis. Your first year culminates in Spring Exercise, a two-week simulation that has you integrate and apply the tools and concepts you learned from the first-year core. Then, during the summer after your first year, you will most likely take on a policy-oriented internship. The Policy Analysis Exercise, an applied thesis, caps the second-year curriculum. One of the benefits of being in an academic environment is the chance to discover and investigate new interests. That's why we encourage you to explore different policy areas.

The International and Global Affairs (IGA) concentration trains the next generation of policymakers and leaders like you to tackle the complex issues of a globalizing world. As an IGA concentrator, you add a layer of depth to your master's degree through further intensive coursework taught by Harvard Kennedy School faculty members who are among the world?s leading scholars of global affairs. The concentration provides training for you to become a globally minded policymaker serving in a national, regional, or local government agency, international or nongovernmental organization, or multinational corporation. Many concentrators translate their IGA training into careers in international security, human rights, energy security, environment and resource systems, or information systems?all of which address international and global challenges and governance. There are a number of centers and programs at HKS that focus on topics and issues central to the IGA concentration and possibly your area of academic interest.
