Message from the

DEAN

“In the Nation’s Service and the Service of Humanity” — Coined by the School’s namesake and later expanded, this phrase captures the essence of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.

What began in 1930 as a small interdisciplinary undergraduate program has become a major center of research and education, providing training in its graduate programs to master’s and doctoral students. Our work is informed by a commitment to a multidisciplinary approach to policy issues, a global perspective, and an emphasis on top-quality research and teaching.

The Woodrow Wilson School faculty reflects the complexity of today’s policy issues; it currently includes economists, historians, political scientists, and sociologists, as well as scientists, engineers, psychologists, and legal scholars. Practitioners are an important part of students’ training, and bring real-world policy experience to the classroom. And our students and alumni are committed to service in all parts of the world.

I trust you will see in the pages that follow that the Woodrow Wilson School is an exciting place to learn, to practice, and to teach. I hope you are inspired to learn more, so please visit us in person or connect with us virtually. I look forward to having our paths cross.

Sincerely, Cecilia Elena Rouse

PUBLIC AFFAIRS The School’s two-year Master in Public Affairs (MPA) program offers a core curriculum that allows students to develop the analytical skills necessary for addressing the political, economic, quantitative, and behavioral aspects of complex public policy issues. The School enrolls individuals who have demonstrated a deep commitment to public service through their volunteer interests, internships, and professional experiences.

In between their first and second years of study, MPA students are required to complete an approved, full-time summer internship in their sector of interest. During the second year, policy workshops provide students with an opportunity to use the analytical skills they have acquired to analyze challenging policy issues, usually for real-world clients.

“WWS gave me the space, time, and opportunity at a critical point in our global history to question and challenge and engage with some of the nation’s best policy thinkers. My experience at the Wilson School prepared me to not only analyze the complexity of challenges facing cities and states, but also to work across sectors and at the intersections of communities to develop solutions with sustainable impact.”

JOINT DEGREE PROGRAMS

The four-year MPA/J.D. program enables students to combine the study of law and the study of public affairs.

The Woodrow Wilson School has formal joint degree arrangements with law schools at Columbia University, New York University, and Stanford University.

In addition, students have arranged joint degrees with other law schools such as the University of California, Berkeley; Georgetown University; the University of Pennsylvania; the University of Virginia; Yale University; and Harvard University.

Students admitted into the joint degree program spend five semesters at the law school and three semesters at the Woodrow Wilson School, thereby reducing by two semesters the time required to earn the two degrees.

Enrollment in the joint program requires separate application and admission to each university, and the Woodrow Wilson School requires an essay setting forth the rationale for the joint MPA/J.D. as part of the School’s application.

Other Joint Degree Programs The School may also permit a limited number of candidates to pursue joint degrees in such disciplines as business or public health with the cooperation of other institutions.

Students interested in pursuing any joint degree must submit in writing an academic rationale for the program proposed at the time of application to the MPA program.

Enrollment requires separate application and admission to each university.

“As a joint-degree student at the Woodrow Wilson School, I am building my arsenal to advocate for women’s rights. The Wilson School program’s quantitative and qualitative approaches to public policy add a breadth of perspective to my legal training and allow me to tackle problems holistically. This will ultimately make me a stronger lawyer and a more effective agent of change.”

Kate Vlach MPA/J.D. ’19

The Scholars in the Nation’s Service Initiative (SINSI) SINSI allows students to obtain a two-year fellowship in the federal government between the first and second year of their MPA. The Wilson School provides salary and health care benefits during this two-year stint.

Qualified applicants can either be Princeton University seniors from a broad range of academic backgrounds, or firstyear students admitted to and enrolled in the School’s MPA program.

The highly competitive selection criteria includes: • outstanding academic performance • personal accomplishments • leadership potential and maturity • sound judgment • strong written and oral communication skills • strong commitment to a career in government service SINSI fully funds the fellow’s salary and health care benefits, as well as relevant language training. Host agencies arrange all necessary clearances, provide professional-level experience appropriate to the fellow’s background and career goals as well as the needs of the department/office, and mentorship and other career development opportunities.

SINSI fellows normally do at least two (and no more than four) rotations within the two-year fellowship. At the conclusion of the fellowship, there is no employment obligation on the part of the host department or agency.

Application due: • Princeton seniors: November 6, 2017 • MPAs: December 15, 2017

Over the past 10 years, SINSIs have been placed with the following federal agencies or departments: State (including U.S. Embassies) Defense Treasury Agriculture Health and Human Services Education Housing and Urban Development The Intelligence Community NASA Environmental Protection Agency U.S. Agency for International Development Fish and Wildlife Service U.S. Army Corp of Engineers U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Council of Economic Advisers Office of Management and Budget The White House

POLICY WORKSHOPS

Policy workshops are an important component of the graduate curriculum. They are required for MPA students during the fall of their second year, and optional for MPP students. Emphasizing policy analysis and implementation, these small seminars provide students with hands-on learning opportunities where they can apply their analytical skills to complex policy issues.

Each workshop consists of eight to 10 students who work in teams to research and evaluate a timely domestic or international policy issue, often for a real-world client or expert group. Most students also engage in field-based research around the globe during the University’s fall break. Teams work together to create an in-depth report, which they formally present to the client at the conclusion of the semester.

Master in

PUBLIC POLICY The School’s one-year Master in Public Policy (MPP) program is designed for mid-career professionals who are rising leaders in international and domestic public policy. The residential program should not be viewed as a stepping stone to a Ph.D. program.

Rather, it is a valuable opportunity for those embedded in public service for seven-plus years to reflect on their experiences, expand their knowledge, and further develop or refine their analytical skills in relation to their chosen professional path.

Since its launch in 1997, the MPP program has provided a year of reflection and intellectual and personal growth for several hundred emerging leaders from the public and nonprofit sectors. MPP graduates return to their careers with the intellectual breadth and self-confidence necessary to assume impactful positions in public policy.

“Getting my Master in Public Policy degree from WWS was one of my best career choices. To dive deep in an academic setting on environmental policy issues from more of a practical applied level was incredibly valuable.”

- Jonathan Goldstein, MPP ’11 Director, Regulatory and Legislative Affairs, Environmental Defense Fund

The Woodrow Wilson Action Committee is the graduate student government body that provides students a voice in the governance of the School and a formal channel of communication between the student body and the faculty and administration. Committee members also plan social activities and coordinate volunteer and community-service activities.

The Gender and Policy Network, comprised of students, faculty, and alumni, aims to promote the integration of gender into the curriculum of the Woodrow Wilson School and promote the engagement of these issues in the Princeton University community.

The Graduate Consulting Group is made up of students who participate in pro bono, short-term consulting projects throughout the academic year. Past projects range from microfinance and entrepreneurship to charter school development.

The Journal of Public and International Affairs is a premier student-run journal of policy studies, publishing both scholarly and expository articles on a range of subjects covering the areas of international affairs, development studies, and domestic policy.

Students and Alumni of Color (SAOC) Symposium provides opportunities for students and alumni to discuss the social and political issues related to the professional development of students of color. Each year, they host the SAOC Symposium, where alumni, prominent guests, and students can share their experiences, successes, and challenges.

The Woodrow Wilson Political Network is a studentalumni initiative that aims to help students become effective agents of social change in the political world.

Throughout the academic year, students plan a number of social events. Some engage faculty and staff, such as an annual BBQ/ square dance, a service auction and skit night, and an annual softball game and cookout.
