The Programs Based in the John W McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies and drawing on faculty from throughout the university, the MS in Public Affairs program offers a choice of two tracks: Public Affairs and International Relations. Public Affairs The Master of Science in Public Affairs focuses on three broad goals: to provide students with a detailed, accurate picture of the political and economic environments on the national, state, and local levels; to give them needed historical and cultural perspectives on public life in the region; and to ensure that they have the kind of technical, professional, analytical, and managerial skills needed to function effectively in the public realm. The curriculum also includes intensive analyses of current policy issues and concentrates on national topics, including those relating to metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts, and New England. Students are sought who are currently employed and who have had several years’ experience in the public, private, and not-forprofit sectors, although students who have just completed an undergraduate degree are also considered. Those coming from the private sector usually hold or aspire to positions of authority in their organization’s community relations, governmental affairs, or long-range strategic planning divisions. As most students are employed full-time, the program operates on an evening and weekend schedule.
