Accelerated Public Policy and Management Master's Programs

Heinz College / Heinz College Master's Degree Programs / Master of Science In Public Policy and Management / Accelerated Public Policy and Management Master's Programs

Done Faster. Change Sooner.

Students with the drive to develop as leaders and enter the job market more quickly can earn their undergraduate and MSPPM degrees together in five years instead of the typical six.

An accelerated program isn’t just a savings of time. It’s also a considerable savings in cost, and for undergrads coming from outside of Pittsburgh, it offers an expedited path to experience the benefits of two distinct educational and cultural environments.

The Heinz College MSPPM program has collaborative agreements in place with the following institutions:

Carnegie Mellon University
3 years CMU undergraduate (any major) / 1 year integrated / 1 year at Heinz College

Allegheny College
3 years at Allegheny / 2 years at Heinz College

Bethany College
3 years at Bethany / 2 years at Heinz College

Chatham University
3 years at Chatham / 1 year integrated / 1 year at Heinz College

Messiah College
3 years at Messiah / 2 years at Heinz College

Learn more about MSPPM admissions requirements.

For more information on Accelerated Master’s Programs, please contact the Heinz College Office of Admissions at hnzadmit@andrew.cmu.edu or by phone (412) 268-2164.
