If you have three years of relevant professional experience* or more, MSPPM: Fast Track provides the same degree in public policy problem-solving and evidence-based management as our traditional MSPPM: Pittsburgh, but in an accelerated format.
A full-time professional graduate degree program, students have opportunities to work with industry clients on real-world problems via Capstone Projects, bringing theory into practice. Due to the experience level of Fast Track candidates, summer internships (between the second and third semesters) are optional.
With a MSPPM from Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College, you will come out ready to use your skills to lead meaningful change.
*Certain criteria—including service work and military service—can exempt professional experience requirement, see MSPPM admissions for more details
