Do you want to make the world a better place? Are you interested in working for and/or leading a mission-driven nonprofit organization or government agency? Do you want to learn more about education, health care, poverty, incarceration, and/or national security policies?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you should join us to learn more about the new Masters Degree of Public Policy and Administration (MPPA) at the University of Redlands!

Join us for our information night event on Tuesday, April 25th, at 7pm in Library 151 (or attend via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9096477455 ) and learn about the exciting opportunities this program has to offer. Meet with the program directors as well as current students to get a first-hand look into what our MPPA program is all about.

Our MPPA program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of public policy and administration, including the skills necessary to analyze, design, and implement effective public policies. Our curriculum is taught by experienced professionals and scholars in the field and provides students with real-world experiences through outstanding clinical experiences.

The MPPA program is perfect for individuals who are passionate about making a positive impact in their communities and want to make a difference in the public sector.

We also have great news to share! ALL of the students in our 2023-24 cohort will get 30% off the program tuition!

We look forward to seeing you!

Go ALL IN!

Fun times at our hastily rescheduled Holiday Party. Happy holidays to YOU!

11/30/2022

OOF! Due to an abundance of smoke in the basement of HOL this morning (which caused an evacuation), the building is temporarily closed. We have to move our Holiday Party to a new time/place and will keep you posted. Again, today's Poli Sci Holiday Party is (sadly but temporarily) cancelled.
