The Master of International Public Policy (MIPP) is designed for experienced professionals, with at least seven years of work experience, who wish to develop advanced analytical and leadership skills.
Studying under world-class scholars and practitioners, students customize their course of study from hundreds of functional, regional, and economic courses to advance their expertise and position themselves for continued professional success.
MIPP students represent diverse employment sectors and geographic regions and bring substantial professional experience into classroom discussions. This program is completed in either one (full-time) or two years (part-time) and is offered at the Washington, DC and SAIS Europe campuses.
Our graduates are in great demand by employers in the public, private and nonprofit sectors. Economics knowledge, analytical abilities, regional expertise, diplomatic skills, language proficiency and the capacity to apply theory to real-world problems give students a distinct professional advantage.
