Economics + Public Policy (3+1)

Transform lives through public policy
Combining a Bachelor of Arts in Economics with a Master of Arts in Public Policy, this highly interdisciplinary program is built on the belief that the political process can bring about social change.
This 3+1 dual-degree program will position you to make a difference at local, national, and global levels. You'll use your vision, compassion, and insight to make a positive impact.
Coursework in the first three years draws on our rigorous liberal arts curriculum to provide a strong foundation in economics. Master's level coursework in public policy begins by the end of the third year and culminates in an intense and practical Capstone Project in Public Policy.
Boston's vibrant legislative, non-profit, and advocacy resources offer opportunities for real-world learning. The Capstone blends your internship experience with the opportunity to address real policy issues in a substantial written work.
You'll graduate with a command of public policy analysis and a deep understanding of the different contexts in which policy is developed and implemented. You'll be ready to lead and implement real change.
