Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy

The McCourt School offers a wide-variety of rich and rigorous programming taught by some of the leading thinkers and doers in policy. We are a diverse community committed to having a positive impact in the world, and empowering our students to do the same.

As you know, our society faces a set of complex problems– from promoting shared economic growth, to increasing access to high-quality healthcare and education, to limiting the effects of climate change. The solutions to these problems require an evidence-based and cross-disciplinary approach, rooted in an understanding of the people these solutions intend to help.

Our mission is to tackle these complex issues, while inspiring and empowering the policy leaders of tomorrow. Join our community of problem-solvers through one of these programs:

Master of Public Policy, our flagship program blending economics, quantitative skills, management and political science

Master of Science in Data Science for Public Policy, a program at the intersection of data science and quantitative public policy analysis

Master of International Development Policy, a program equipping graduates with the quantitative skills needed to have an impact in a development setting

Master of Policy Management, a mid-career program striking a balance between analytical skills and management
