MBA & Master in Public Policy
Positive Change Through Social Impact
The combination of a Master in Public Policy from the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs and a Masters in Business Administration from the Carlson School of Management is designed for students interested in careers that require expertise in policymaking and management, and graduates will find career opportunities in public service, nonprofit, and the private sector
Both located on the Minneapolis campus, the MPP-MBA offers students to complete both degrees in three years. To complete in this time frame students will carry a very demanding course load. After acceptance into the dual degree program, students meet with both their MPP and MBA advisors to be sure that their study plan satisfies both degree requirements.
