Master of Public Management (Executive)

The School of Public Policy is one of the nation's leading graduate programs devoted to the study of public policy, management and international affairs, with particular expertise in the fields of environmental policy, energy policy, international development, international security and economic policy, health policy, education policy, social policy, non-profit management, public management and leadership,acquisitions, and public finance. The School offers a wide variety of master's programs, joint degree programs, graduate certificate programs, and one of the nation's premier doctorate programs. The School's location just outside of Washington, D.C. attracts a stellar faculty of scholar-practitioners who are experts in the theory and practice of public policy and management and influential participants in the nation's policy-making process. The location and faculty in turn attract outstanding students by providing them, not only an in-depth, rich curriculum, but extensive exposure to and interaction with the real-life world of policy-making, the federal government, the international diplomatic community, state and local governments, and a host of non-governmental and multinational organizations. It is one of the few policy schools to combine state, national and international policy study under one roof, and to take into account policy interests in all sectors of the economy, thus allowing both faculty and students to study the full range of issues in all courses and in all research.

The Executive Master of Public Management (EMPM) is an accelerated degree designed for professionals with at least five years of policy or management related experience. Through your coursework, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the frameworks and tools that support effective decision-making, and explore the organizational and management issues that leaders face. Stepping well beyond traditional pre-career public policy programs, the Executive Master of Public Management empowers those already leading and managing in their organizations to be effective, responsible and impactful leaders of change.
