Our master's degree programs prepare students for a changing world.

There is no better time than the present to be studying global affairs and public policy. Whether it’s COVID-19, the economic crisis, the growing rivalry between the United States and China, or the struggle for human rights that exists around the world, these are times that demand change. They demand creative thinking.

At the Munk School, we are looking for students who are creative, who push the limits, who think differently; who are deeply engaged with the world and determined to have an impact on it. Join us.

"The MGA program was great, the first year was rigorous, involving numerous group projects across a variety of disciplines, which allowed me to home in on my interests while also pushing myself out of my comfort zone.” One of the highlights of my first year was the opportunity to travel to Mexico City with some of my peers to attend the North American Colloquium, a conference put on by the Munk School, the University of Michigan’s Ford School, and UNAM, focused on North American migration."

"Coming from a non-policy background, the MPP program's comprehensive curriculum was key to my internship success. Courses on economics, program evaluation, and strategic policy equipped me to navigate environmental governance and translate research into policy. I also leveraged Munk School’s career services for personalized guidance on my resume, cover letter, and interview prep, and connected with the alumni network to learn from their experiences."
