• Graduates are equipped with key skills for a role in urban policy, including strategic engagement, city leadership, and experimentation. Students study conceptual frameworks for innovation and urban planning, and master policy tools and analytical methods to implement, evaluate, and revise urban policies. They are taught how to bridge gaps within government and in the public and private sector, and how to gather evidence to support decision making.
  • The program consists of eight 15 credit modules (five of which are common across the MPA suite of programs, two are route-specific and one is an elective choice from any other STEaPP module).
  • Students may choose either an MPA Individual Project or the MPA Group Project as their final 60 credit module.
  • Upon successful completion of 180 credits, students will be awarded an MPA in Urban Innovation and Policy.
