Careers in public policy are projected to continually increase over the next decade. In addition, the nonprofit sector is anticipated to grow significantly between 2020 and 2030, after having been negatively affected during the years of the pandemic. Many jobs are open, or are expected to be created, because of the need to replace public policy and nonprofit sector workers who transfer to different occupations or retire the labor force (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2021). To meet this market need, the Thunderbird School of Global management has designed the Public Policy concentration within the flagship MGM degree program.
The Public Policy concentration program is designed for students who would like to work in cross-sector roles within public and nonprofit institutions around the world. Other students may use this program as a springboard into jobs in the private sector that have significant overlap with public agencies. In short, graduates are prepared in both global management and public policy in order to meet the demands of an increasingly interwoven economy.
The Master of Global Management program with a concentration in Public Policy prepares students for careers as policy analysts and leaders in public service. Offered in collaboration with the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions at ASU, graduates are able to apply analytical techniques and conceptual frameworks to understand policy issues as well as to identify potential solutions to real-world challenges.
Thunderbird School of Global Management has produced unique leaders for more than 70 years, leaders in every sector capable of tackling the world's greatest challenges. The alumni network comprises 45,000 graduates and 170 chapters around the globe.
