Speaking truth to power.

Aaron Wildavsky – GSPP Founding Dean 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 and promotes innovative policy ideas. 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 over forty years GSPP has led the way in the teaching and practice of policy analysis—using microeconomic, statistical, political, management, legal and information- technology skills to help solve real-world problems. Today, policy analysis drives governments towards reasoned analysis and policy innovation. With the new millennium, public policy must deal with the challenges of global warming, world food and economic security, AIDS, stopping terrorism, and improving 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 consciously multidisciplinary in its outlook and orientation. Its faculty is 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 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 p the world, we invite you to consider Berkeley and the Goldman School of Public Policy.

Career Opportunities The program is intended to prepare students for superior and versatile career opportunities in the public, private, and nonprofi t sectors, both nationally and internationally. Graduates will go on to become national and global lead- ers in domestic and international government agencies (at all levels-federal, state and local), private sector companies, non-profi t groups, think tanks, research organizations, and community-based organizations.

Program Requirements The objective of this program is to permit students to ob- tain in six semesters both the M.P.P. and the M.S.W. degree. Pursued separately, these degrees would normally require eight semesters. Interested students should refer to the M.P.P./M.S.W. Guide for details of the course requirements and required numbers of credits. In brief, the requirements are to: • Complete GSPP core course requirements, including a Capstone Project requirement (the Advanced Policy Analysis Project) that refl ects each student’s professional and intellectual interests. • Complete M.S.W. core course requirements • Complete at least 19 M.S.W. Fieldwork credits, at least 55 academic coursework units, and a total of at least 77 credits. • A Social Work Field placement that also meets the Public Policy internship requirement. This placement would normally occur second year of courses, after a student has completed signifi cant core coursework in both schools.

Admission Requirements Interested candidates can apply to the concurrent program from the outset, which requires their application to be reviewed by both programs. Candidates must be admitted by each school separately. Current M.P.P. or M.S.W. students may apply to the concurrent program while a fi rst-semester graduate student. gspp.berkeley.edu Concurrent Degree Programs with Other U.C.

What We Look For * Represents percentage of U.S. citizens for which ethnicity is provided GSPP looks for an outstanding academic record, strong letters of recommendation, and high GRE scores.

Erin Forman Although there is no requirement for undergradu- Student Services Advisor ate major work, it will be to your advantage to have taken introductory microeconomics, first-year cal- culus and introductory statistics prior to admission.

In addition, we try to select a class that is diverse in terms of policy interests and life experiences. Unusually strong work experience or recommenda- tions may off set weaknesses in grades or tests scores.

There is no advantage or disadvantage, in the admissions process, to being a California resident.
