Faculty: Rossier School of Education / Price School of Public Policy | Duration: Five calendar years full-time; 84 units | Study mode: full-time | Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States
The first year is devoted to MPP classes, the second to PhD classes, the MPP practicum in the third year, the PhD qualifying exam in the fourth year and the dissertation in the fifth. The 84 units comprise 48 PhD units (core 16, concentration 15, research 12, dissertation 5) and 36 MPP units (24 core units including economics, policy analysis, multivariate statistics and applied econometrics, a 4-unit Policy Analysis Practicum and 8 units of analytic electives).
Entering students must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and demonstrate proficiency in foundational statistics, either through a college-level statistics or econometrics course with a grade of B or better within three years of matriculation (waivers possible for older coursework) or by completing PPD 504 Essential Statistics for Public Management in the summer with a C or better. Applicants either apply to both programmes simultaneously stating intent for the dual degree, or apply to the PhD during the first semester as an MPP student.
