Admissions & Aid
It begins here.
Study government and policy as it is. Build it as it should be. Here, you learn from economists, philosophers, political scientists, administrative law experts, and sociologists alongside practitioners who work inside the institutions you study. You graduate ready to change the institutions you enter.
More coming soon.
The School of Government and Policy welcomes its inaugural class in Fall 2028.

Policy education, rebuilt.
Where theory meets practice.
Here, you study policy design and implementation together, not as separate disciplines but as one job. AI and data science are tools you’ll use from day one, not electives or add-ons.
Built for now—and what comes next.
Built from the ground up in the heart of Washington, D.C., the School of Government and Policy didn’t inherit an outdated curriculum. Every course you take, every faculty member you learn from, every research agenda you engage with is built for the demands of governing in the 21st century.
Graduate ready to lead.
You move from analysis to action, discovering what change requires and how to make it happen. Working and learning directly inside government systems, you examine how policy is formulated, where it breaks down, and what reforms actually produce results.
