MPP meaning in Educational Degree ?

The Master of Public Policy (MPP), is one of several public policy degrees. An MPP is neither a Master of Science in Public Policy (MSPP) nor a Master of Arts in Public Policy (MAPP). An MSPP requires more rigorous statistical and computer science training. A MAPP does not require the same amount of mathematical rigor or time to complete as an MPP. An MPP is a master's-level professional degree that provides training in policy analysis and program evaluation at public policy schools. The MPP program places a focus on the systematic analysis of issues related to public policy and the decision processes associated with them. This includes training in the role of economic and political factors in public decision-making and policy formulation; microeconomic analysis of policy options and issues; resource allocation and decision modeling; cost/benefit analysis; statistical methods; and various applications to specific public policy topics. MPP recipients serve or have served in the public sector, at the international, national, subnational, and local levels.
