We take full advantage of our Northern Virginia location in the heart of one of the most important technology corridors in the country and just minutes from Washington, D.C. Our exciting program is young and vibrant and is growing rapidly in size and scope. We offer a unique lineup of master’s degree programs that explores the crossroads of technology, commerce, and public policy, giving students the skills they need to manage in an information society. And our selective PhD program in public policy is one of the largest and most respected in the world, producing research that directly affects the most pressing policy debates of the day.

A graduate degree from the School of Public Policy will distinguish you among your colleagues, whether you work for the government, in business, or at a nonprofit organization. And because it costs a fraction of many other graduate programs in the Washington, D.C., area, a degree from the School of Public Policy is an exceptional value.
