Harris Public Policy

Hi, Given you desire to start with a Masters and work your way to a PhD, I'd like to offer a program suggestion at Harris Public Policy called the Master of Arts in Public Policy with a Certificate in Research Methods (MACRM). I've given you more information below. The objective of the Master of Arts in Public Policy with a Certificate in Research Methods (MACRM) program is to prepare students for top-tier Ph.D. programs in economics and political science as well as other social sciences, policy, and business. Applicants should exhibit strong quantitative backgrounds (including exposure to mathematical probability & statistics, multivariate calculus, and matrix algebra) and plan on pursing admission to doctoral programs, seeking careers in academia, think tanks, or other research-oriented policy work. The program will allow students the opportunity to take PhD-level coursework at Chicago Harris, afford them the opportunity to research and work with world-class faculty at the University of Chicago, and enable them to build a high-level research portfolio, further strengthening their candidacy for future PhD programs. If you're interested in learning more, feel free to reach out to our team at: harrisadmissions@uchicago.edu Warm regards, Tim
