Analytics and Public Policy

About

Beginning in the 2020-2021 academic year, the Analytics program will no longer be accepting new students. Current Analytics students will continue to have access to the same high-quality education and resources until they graduate.

The Public Policy and Analytics Dual Degree equips you with the skills and knowledge required to analyze critical societal issues, develop effective policy solutions, and translate analysis into action.

You can choose to start the program with either the Master in Public Policy (fall term) or the Master of Science in Analytics (summer term) and study a mix of content from both programs each year. Your capstone experience during the second year for both paths will demonstrate your command of skills from each program. In just two years, you will graduate with two highly marketable and sought-after degrees: Master in Public Policy and MS in Analytics.

Program Delivery & Location: Academic courses for both programs are offered in person on the UNH Durham campus with a portion of the MPP experiential learning taking place offsite: Washington, DC, for the Colloquium and at the Internship site location during the internship experience.
