John W. McCormack
Graduate School of Policy Studies

 

The John W. McCormack Graduate School of Policy Studies is a world class academic and research center, dedicated to creating opportunities for students, faculty, researchers and graduates from across a broad spectrum of backgrounds to explore policy and the complex economic, social and political issues which increasingly shape diverse urban communities.

Established in 2003, the McCormack Graduate School offers a wide range of graduate degree programs in public policy, public affairs, gerontology and conflict resolution.  In addition to our academic programs, the McCormack Graduate School is comprised of several centers and institutes of focused research: Public Management; Social Policy; Women in Politics and Public Policy; Gerontology; Media and Society; Democracy and Development; and Rebuilding Sustainable Communities after Disasters.

Our students and faculty think and work across traditional boundaries and are often at the intersection of emerging policy among the public, private and nonprofit sectors. Through our academic programs, research centers and advocacy initiatives, we seek to advance the development of evidence-based policies to promote the creation of just, equitable societies locally, nationally and globally.
