Overview
The Ph.D. in Public Policy prepares students for advanced professional work or for academic careers. The doctorate degree is based on a core curriculum that stresses intellectual and methodological rigor, using the theories and applications of quantitative analysis; political, economic, and organizational analysis; research design and execution.
This core is supplemented with in-depth study of particular substantive areas of public policy. The program focuses on just three substantive concentrations, each a particular strength of the School, and each closely related to Georgia Tech's focus on technology-intensive research and education.
Careers
Doctoral graduates from the School of Public Policy at Georgia Institute of Technology will find employment as university faculty and as senior research analysts in government and the private sector.
