Executive Public Policy for Internationals (EPPI)
The Goldman School of Public Policy is pleased to announce the launch of the Executive Public Policy for Internationals (EPPI) in 2013. This semester-long executive certificate program is offered for international participants who would like to deepen their expertise in a particular area of public policy and experience the world-class education provided by the Goldman School and the University of California, Berkeley.
Independent Leaders Scholar Program (ILSP)
ILSP is a partially tailored program similar to EPPI (Executive Public Policy for Internationals). The only difference is that ILSP is also offered to non-government individuals while EPPI is only for government officers. ILSP offers training opportunitites beyond institutional partners to individual practitioners who possess the public or private sector experience and the wish to benefit from Goldman School knowledge. In the past, ILSP has hosted a Director of an Auditor General's Office, Chief editor of a South-east Asian newspaper, an investment banker, to name a few. ILSP attracts practitioners who have a wealth of experience. Their interaction with GSPP students and faculty is mutually beneficial.
Master of Public Affairs
For those seeking a comprehensive learning experience and a formal credential, the Master of Public Affairs (MPA) is a one-year program for mid-career professionals, culminating in a graduate degree from UC Berkeley. The MPA program is designed specifically to meet the needs of individuals who have at least seven years of work experience and are seeking to grow their skills and advance in their careers. MPA students can choose classes offered by other UC Berkeley schools and departments, and the schedule is very flexible. MPA students are required to attend the initial six-week training in person and then have the option to stay in Berkeley or return home to complete the rest of the program requirements remotely. For more information, including how to apply, please visit the MPA Program webpage.
