The joint program with the Master of Science in Social Policy from the School of Social Policy and Practice prepares students to assume positions of leadership in public, nonprofit, and private organizations that develop, influence or implement policy. The MSSP and MPA degrees complement one another in content and approach, and the dual degree enhances the breadth and depth of policy and practical experience students explore during their studies. Through the Master of Public Administration program, students gain significant practical experience in leadership and administration of public sector organizations; through the Master of Science in Social Policy program, students gain robust knowledge of social policy with a focus on equity.
