UCR’s Master of Public Policy (MPP) degree will provide a new and
different focus from other public policy programs. Three
distinguishing characteristics of the program will position it to be a
national leader in public policy thought, education, and scholarship:

1. The UCR MPP program will be unique in its emphasis on the
intersection and synergies between environmental and social policies.

2. It will train students in “regional” policy-making, or
policy-making that transcends traditional jurisdictional and
administrative boundaries (such as the city, county, state and
country).

3. Finally, it will highlight similarities between the policy
challenges facing local communities in the United States (such as
communities in Inland Southern California) and policy problems
confronting emerging countries (such as Mexico, Brazil, China, and
India). It will train students in the skills of applying policy
lessons learned globally to the policy challenges facing local
communities in the United States.
