Overview

Features

The Public Policy - Juris Doctor program at Pepperdine University is designed to strengthen and perfect the preparation of those whose successful leadership depends on a fuller understanding of and a stronger skill set for addressing issues of public policy in the practice of law or in the interface between the private business sector and an increasingly complex government presence.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Reflecting a Christian commitment to subsidiary and grassroots problem solving within community, our joint MPP/JD program addresses the management of nonprofit associations and foundations, understanding that, at times, they may depend heavily on a carefully tended relationship with government or may be expected to provide social services on behalf of the government.
