Students develop analytical, communication, and leadership skills in their policy courses, and then apply those skills through projects, research, and internship experiences. Graduates are well-equipped for careers in all levels of government, nonprofits, government relations, advocacy, and more. The critical thinking and analytical skills emphasized in the program also make it great preparation for law or other graduate programs. During the preview night, you will hear from current students and faculty who can describe the career opportunities, internships, classes, and community that come along with a degree from the Martin School.
