Student Experiences
Our students join us from unique and diverse career and academic backgrounds. Some come back to a graduate program after gaining career experience. Others pivot to a focus on policy to complement and extend their undergraduate degrees in the humanities, social science, or natural and engineering sciences. What unites them is a common interest in understanding how policy and administration works and how our collective efforts to govern can be improved. The students arrayed below offer a glimpse into the passions, motivations, backgrounds and experiences of our students.
