Bachelor of Arts in Economics with a Master of Arts in Public Policy

Simmons University - Kaplan International

Combining a Bachelor of Arts in Economics with a Master of Arts in Public Policy, this highly interdisciplinary program is built on the belief that the political process can bring about social change.The 3 Plus1 Public Policy Program will uniquely position you to make a difference at local, national and global levels. You'll use your vision, compassion and insight to make a positive impact.
Coursework in the first three years draws on our vigorous liberal arts curriculum to provide an strong foundation in economics. Master's level coursework in public policy begins by the end of the third year and culminates in an intense and practical Capstone Project in Public Policy. Drawing on Boston's vibrant legislative, nonprofit and advocacy resources, the Capstone blends your internship experience with the opportunity to address real policy issues in a substantial written work.

You'll graduate with a command of public policy analysis and a deep understanding of the different contexts in which public policy is developed and implemented - ready to lead and implement real change.
