Today's public leaders not only need to possess the tools of effective policy analysis, but they must understand how these policies will be accepted and sustained by a public. Pepperdine's Master of Public Policy (MPP) degree offers students that distinctively comprehensive curriculum, which contemplates that there is, indeed, a "public" in public policy – one that must be both involved and informed to form sustainable solutions. The MPP degree offers specializations in American Policy and Politics, Applied Economic Policy, International Relations and National Security, and State and Local Policy.
