Yale University

Yale’s Jackson School of Global Affairs’ M.P.P. program is designed to help students gain a comprehensive understanding of global affairs. The interdisciplinary curriculum provides students with a shared intellectual foundation focused on acquisition of the ideas, ways of thinking, and skills needed for leadership in global affairs.

Students also have unusual flexibility to design an individualized course of study around those issues by taking advantage of the extraordinary breadth of courses and resources at Jackson and across Yale. The M.P.P. program is small by design, with about 35 students in each entering class. Coming with diverse backgrounds and career interests, Jackson’s graduate students form an intimate and close-knit community. Our size and approach create a dynamic atmosphere as students become a resource to each other and a window to the diversity and complexity of the global affairs field.

Take classes from across all of Yale’s schools and departments, and take advantage of joint degrees with Yale Law School, the Yale School or Management, and the Yale School of the Environment. Study with Senior Fellows who include former ambassadors, intelligence officials, and military leaders. M.P.P. students at Jackson receive generous funding, including up to full tuition and stipend.
