Policy Analysis
About
The Master of Public Affairs (MPA) program at the O'Neill School at IU Indianapolis will advance your understanding of public, private, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public interest.
Within O'Neill's MPA program, the Policy Analysis concentration prepares students to improve decision-making and address complex issues.
'As a Policy Analysis student, you will learn more about the policy process—from design to evaluation. This knowledge will allow you to help organizations analyze complex policy situations, breaking them down in a way that makes the policies and their impact more understandable. This concentration is often more technical and quantitative than other concentrations, which employers greatly value.
You will learn how to use mapping software, statistical software, and other ways to communicate data to inform policy choices and public affairs management practices.
