Master in Applied Statistics and Public and Nonprofit Management and Policy, New York University

The Applied Statistics and Public and Nonprofit Management and Policy MSc/MPA program from New York University focuses on understanding and applying advanced statistical techniques critical to policy issues across the social, behavioral, and health sciences. The MPA program, with its Public Policy Analysis specialization, provides students with key frameworks from economics and political science alongside important skills in management and finance, and sets them up to play a leading role in designing, implementing, and evaluating policy that better serves the public good. This dual degree allows for 24 credits of course work to apply to both degrees, so students can complete their MS and MPA in only two years of continuous, full-time study resulting in considerable financial savings.;Career outcomes;Careers in public policy increasingly rely on a combination of data analytic skills and substantive policy knowledge. Government and nonprofit organizations are interested in tapping into their treasure trove of data to inform public policy debates. Major for-profit enterprises also increasingly have to contend with the public policy implications of their business activities. It is no longer sufficient to be only a generalist statistician or a policy specialist. Many professional opportunities benefit from and require the combination of both skill sets. We expect graduates from this dual-degree program to be well prepared for jobs at all levels of government, in non-governmental organizations and not-for-profits, at evaluation firms, and at research and advocacy institutions.;I want to find another Master Course;Get more details;Visit official programme website
