Faculty

The quality of our faculty is the single most important factor in determining the reputation, impact, and future of the School of Public Policy. Outstanding faculty attract the best and brightest students, bring in research funding, create entrepreneurial programs, and lead. As we increase our faculty numbers as part of our strategic plan, “Growing to Excellence,” the School of Public Policy is committed to recruiting and retaining faculty members of the highest caliber. The cost for the most talented faculty are high, but so are the rewards.

Research

As part of a leading research University, the School of Public Policy engages in relevant cutting edge research through independent faculty interests as well as through the Research Centers housed at the School.   The centers within the School of Public Policy are a direct reflection of the issues and research being pursued within the School itself. Not only is significant research taking place and important issues being addressed, but the centers and institutes offer students an opportunity to participate in the real world of policymaking. In doing so, students are working under the guidance of accomplished faculty who are directly influencing policy issues in a wide range of areas.    Funding support guarantees that the financial resources will be available for cutting edge research and further discoveries.
