About the Program

In Trinity’s liberal arts tradition, the master of arts in public policy (M.A.P.P.) provides students an opportunity to master practical aspects of public administration with the benefit of the historical and intellectual context in which our political principles and practices have developed.

Students may complete the 10-credit program in a single 一年, including our summer sessions, but many working adults choose a part-time schedule that allows them to complete their degree in two or three 一年s. The capst一个 of Trinity’s M.A.P.P. is a semester-long consulting assignment, the “Public 政策实习,” where student teams apply their skills to help federal, 状态, and local policymakers—as well as not-for-profit organizations—tackle real world challenges.

Is public administration a unique discipline, distinct from the generic approaches to management and leadership taught in M.B.A. 项目? What can the public and private sectors learn from each other? Our students apply disciplines from political science to economics and psychology in confronting such fundamental questions, even as they acquire the valuable research, 分析, and writing skills vital to success in any professional field. Whatever their long-term career goals, our M.A.P.P. graduates leave Trinity with the tools to make a difference.

For students interested specifically in the application of public policy in urban planning, the public policy graduate program offers a graduate certificate in urban planning.
