Welcome

Welcome to Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP). We prepare talented people to become outstanding public policy leaders. We cultivate an intellectual community that invents innovative policy ideas and that cares about social justice, ethics, and fairness. We seek to change the world by bringing knowledge and understanding to policy debates.

GSPP is the nation’s premier graduate institution for education and research in public policy. It is a diverse and exciting community of students, faculty, staff and visitors, all committed to the highest standards of policy analysis, intellectual rigor, and energetic debate. Our faculty members not only perform cutting edge research—they shape policy through their public commentaries and their active involvement in government. Our staff supports our mission through their exceptional experience, professionalism, and dedication. Our students come with rich domestic and international experiences, and they bring extraordinary commitment, engagement, and energy to the school.

The Goldman School was one of the very first institutions in the United States established for the analysis and development of public policy. For fifty years GSPP has led the way in the teaching and practice of policy analysis—using microeconomic, statistical, political, management, legal and information-tech- nology skills to help solve real-world problems. Today, policy analysis drives governments towards reasoned analysis and policy innovation. In the 21st century, public policy must deal with the challenges of global warming, inequality, world food and economic security, pandemics such as HIV/AIDS, stopping terrorism, and ensuring ethical governance. GSPP prepares leaders who can meet these challenges.

GSPP students are exposed to the unparalleled intellectual, professional and social experiences that only a great university like Berkeley can offer. The School is intentionally multidisciplinary in its outlook and orientation. Its faculty members are drawn from economics, political science, law, social psychology, demography, architecture, physics, and engineering. In addition, students can study with leading scholars in a variety of other disciplines and fields throughout the Berkeley campus.

Great emphasis is placed on team projects, sharpening oral and written communication skills, creative thinking, and leadership skills. Students get opportunities to work on real policy problems for actual clients and also to address scholarly and methodological issues in depth. The result is an exceptional learning experience, both inside and outside the classroom.

Our graduates have risen to leadership positions as politicians, policymakers, analysts, and managers at all levels of government, in the non-profit sector, in private institutions and in international organizations.

These are enormously challenging and exciting times in public policy. If you want to make a difference in the world, we invite you to consider Berkeley and the Goldman School of Public Policy.

Elective Courses

Most of the students’ second-year program consists of elective courses of individual choice relevant to the study of public policy. The School provides students with information on course possibilities around the campus, and each student determines a set of courses in consultation with a faculty advisor.

Students can choose electives from the full array of courses offered by Berkeley’s aca­demic depart- ments and professional schools and colleges, as well as courses taught by GSPP faculty.
