The two-year program (MP2) provides early and mid-career professionals and staff members with the technical skills needed to be professional policy analysts. The program provides a strong platform for advanced research (including doctoral studies). Students are required to write a masters thesis in one of four areas of public policy: Economic Policy, International Development Studies, International Relations, and Public Policy.

Target Group

MP2 targets early and mid-career public policy professionals with demonstrated capacity for advanced policy analysis, commitment to public service, and the potential for leadership roles in policy analysis and management. Applications are invited from officials and staff of national and local governments, as well as other international and domestic organizations concerned with public policy analysis and management.

We also accept Japanese students.

Program Design

MP2 has a similar structure to that of the one year program, but MP2 students receive more advanced training and guidance in the technical and practical skills needed for public policy analysis, design, and implementation. In the first year, students complete a series of core, concentration, and elective courses. All MP2 students develop a common interdisciplinary and analytical foundation through the core courses, take specialized courses that provide them with strong analytical and quantitative skills, and select from a wide-variety of elective courses. In their second year, students further develop their research skills and utilize them in writing and defending a master’s thesis under the guidance of a highly-trained specialist in their chosen field of concentration (specialization).

MP2 provides a strong platform for advanced policy research (including doctoral studies). Students are required to write a master’s thesis in one of the approved areas of concentration. Currently, four areas of concentration are available: Economic Policy, International Development Studies, International Relations, and Public Policy. Practical instruction is available from current and former government officials with distinguished careers in public service. In addition to three policy workshops, students receive specialized guidance through a program of independent study.
