Master of public policy (M.P.P.) students are required to present a
three-course (9-credit) concentration to complete their degree
requirements. These concentrations can be in one of the areas listed
below or students can, with the advice of a faculty member, design their
own concentration:
Budget and Finance*

Students must demonstrate basic competency in their
three-course area of concentration by achieving a B+ or better on
average. Students are welcome to design their own concentration of
cross-cutting substantive concerns, subject to the approval of the
program director. Courses offered toward the policy area may be drawn
from offerings within the public policy program, the Bloustein School,
or Rutgers generally, with the permission of the adviser or the program director.
