The MBA/MPP program provides a unique opportunity to learn how to recognize and solve problems in a variety of sectors – teaching you to consider the broader impact that businesses and organizations have on people and their communities. Ultimately, you walk away equipped to add value to organizations and companies, while also finding ways to foster a more equitable and accessible world.
