Students may not choose the CG grade in a course taken extra-to-load.

The School hosts a variety of Community Outreach events year-round that attract global policy experts and practitioners. As a feature of the MPP program, The School also puts on a Speaker Series specifically for students in the program. These talks feature prominent policy figures in an interactive environment.

The School鈥檚 event series represents a tremendous opportunity for students to network with policy experts from business and government. For this reason, students are expected to attend as many events as possible throughout the academic year.

Maximum completion time for the MPP is four years.

All MPP students in the program will be guided by faculty holding appointments to the School.
