University of Southern California Reviews of Master's in Public Policy

"The MPP program USC's Sol Price is a top program for good reason. The curriculum is challenging, in-depth, and pertinent to real life. The professors are accomplished, engaged, and willing to help students. The program also provides many opportunities for educational and leadership development outside of the classroom."

"USC is a great university to attend if you know what you what to do after you graduate. That way, you can maximize your time during graduate school."

"The Master of Urban Planning and Master of Public Policy programs at USC Sol Price School provide excellent foundations for students to transition from academia to professions in planning and policy. USC has ample resources to connect students to many related fields and opportunities, with strong faculty and research endeavors to complement student coursework. Though USC is a beautiful campus with premier facilities, its location south of downtown Los Angeles can discourage strong town-gown relations. Given the context of USC as a private research university in Los Angeles and the content of the Price programs, there may not be a better opportunity for students to engage with current urban affairs."

"The USC Master of Public Administration Program is one of the best in the nation, and its faculty and students show this absolutely. The major pros would be the career guidance, network, faculty, diverse program areas of emphasis and diversity. Major cons are hard to find, but one for sure would be the local area. Off campus is definitely not a fun or cool place. But downtown is great!"

"My Master's program is Public Policy. The University of Southern California offers a very connected alumni for all majors. As long as you use your resources wisely then there are many benefits to attending the university."
