Master of Arts in Public Policy

Stony Brook University's Master of Arts in Public Policy prepares students to take a wide variety of leadership roles in the growing field of public policy. Among the many opportunities that await graduates of this program are staff and managerial positions in executive, legislative or judicial agencies at the local, state, national and international level, work on behalf of candidates for public office, positions in public policy journalism, work for private, non-profit and advocacy organizations, leadership roles in civic associations, or advanced graduate study. For students entering the public policy field for the first time, the program offers training and credentials to launch their careers, for those already working in the field, the program will enhance their skills and credentials. Graduates of the program will be joining alumni that have established highly successful careers in many public policy venues, who are also available to assist them with employment and career counseling.

The MAPP program combines rigorous instruction in key components of public policy development with detailed analysis of specific public policy issues and fieldwork. The program's core courses teach skills in political, economic, quantitative and organizational analysis, with a practical focus on the solutions to complex public policy problems. With this foundation, students take one or more courses in a specialized concentration and a related internship or research assignment. The entire program of 30 credit hours can be completed in one calendar year by full-time students, and within two years by those attending part-time.
