Students then specialize in issues of public policy and management.
Students take core courses in social policy, international security and economic policy, environmental policy, or public sector financial management. Candidates should also be experienced in public policy work or have earned a degree in public policy or a related field. In addition to a candidate's academic record, the School considers a candidate's work history and recommendations from supervisors. The submission of GRE, LSAT, or GMAT scores is optional. Admissions to a certificate program may be restricted at times due to capacity limitations.
