Overview

An Public Policy degree from College of William & Mary prepares students for career placement at all levels of public policy - both in the public sector and in private-sector organizations such as nonprofits, regulated industries, and consulting firms with government clients.

However you want to change the world or advance your career, our rigorous program and highly engaged faculty can help make it happen for you.

The MPP curriculum provides both theoretical and applied policy training for students from a variety of educational and career backgrounds.

Career Services and Placement

One of the benefits of the small size of the W&M Public Policy program is that we can offer tailored career and placement services to each of our students. Elaine McBeth, Associate Director of the Program, runs our career services program.

Throughout your time in the program she, working alongside professionals from the Cohen Career Center, will help you with general career planning and professional development and will guide your internship and job searches.
