UMass Amherst School of Public Policy Details
The UMass Amherst School of Public Policy builds a better world by preparing students for public service, conducting cutting-edge research, and convening leaders to address pressing problems. Our work is constructed on the principles of democracy, social justice and equity, respect for human rights, and sustainability. We are a dynamic, interdisciplinary knowledge hub of undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and community partners, all of whom examine issues, ranging from the local to the global, through innovative social science methods. We emphasize real-world impact as we strive to understand, manage, and develop policy solutions.
