The Master of Arts in Public Policy and Evaluation (MAPPE) is a joint program between SPE and SBOS that draws from Public Policy in SPE and Evaluation in SBOS. In addition, strong research methodology offerings in both schools allow students to build a combination of skills that will prepare them for a wide range of attractive careers.
The MAPPE program has the advantage of drawing portions of the curriculum from two complementary domains -- public policy and evaluation -- and offering more extensive coverage of the relevant topics. In a single program, we can provide training on the organizational and process implementation techniques, plus training on the technical aspect of outcome evaluations. Courses from both the public policy and psychology/evaluation departments include a strong emphasis on the political issues involved in evaluations of any kind – including the stakeholder/constituent role in evaluation, empowerment aspects, and the ethical requirements of a policy analyst/evaluator. The program allows considerable individual flexibility (with approval of a faculty advisor) to construct a program that builds important skills for a wide range of careers.
