About the College

Testimonials

At the College of Public Policy, my passion for sports policy, international law, and relations has been deeply nurtured. The curriculum's integration of theory and practical application thoroughly explores the subtleties of governance and global legal frameworks. Expert faculty and a diverse cohort have enriched my perspectives, integrating the societal impacts of sports within an international context. This holistic education makes me a versatile advocate for meaningful change across sports and global policy landscapes.

Aldiyar Zhiyentayev

I was so impressed by my experience in the Master's in Public Policy (MPP) program that I decided to enroll in a second Master's program in Social Policy and Program Evaluation (MSPPE). The quality of education and interaction with the highly qualified faculty exceeded my expectations. The knowledge and skills I gained have been invaluable in my professional development. I highly recommend these programs to anyone looking to enhance their expertise in Public Policy and Program Evaluation.

Graduating from the Master's in Public Policy program has equipped me with deep insights and critical tools to influence and shape policy in a meaningful way. This journey has enhanced my analytical skills, broadened my perspectives, and strengthened my commitment to public service. I'm grateful for the rich experiences and the network of passionate professionals I've gained. I’m now ready to drive positive change in the world.

CPP was not just a college to me. It was a home where I expanded my knowledge and grew during the time I spent there. While I spent two memorable years there, I still feel attached to the CPP community today, where the staff and faculty are second to none!
