In the Accelerated Master’s Platform (AMP), you can take graduate classes in public policy, apply those credits to major requirements, and transfer them to the Master of Public Policy (MPP) degree. Up to 22 graduate credits will count towards your bachelor's degree and transfer to the MPP program.
The AMP is an excellent opportunity for students who want to get a head start on their Master of Public Policy degree and are passionate about getting the skills they’ll need to engage with and support ethical and equitable policy decisions at all levels of government from the local to the global.
As a student in the AMP, you will learn from world-class scientists working on issues significant to 21st-century citizens. As populations continue to become more connected and interdependent, these issues promise to affect us more broadly, quickly, and with more impact than ever before. New forms of governance and problem-solving are being tested and studied at OSU to address these issues. As a graduate of the MPP interdisciplinary program, you will learn to integrate groundbreaking science into emerging policies, practices, and understandings of the world that will impact and influence local, regional, and international policy decisions.
The Master of Public Policy (MPP) offers students the flexibility to explore topics ranging from energy policy, environmental policy, international policy, law and crime policy, rural policy, and social policy or design their own unique concentration.
Graduates of the MPP program have careers as policy analysts, consultants, coordinators, advisors, legislative aids and analysts, researchers, program managers, and many other diverse careers in federal, state, and local government and the nonprofit sector.
