The online Master of Arts in Public Policy (MAPP) program is designed specifically to meet the needs of working professionals who want to gain advanced knowledge and skills in the public administration and policy field, without interrupting their career, or relocating in order to attend a campus-based program. The online learning format gives you the flexibility and convenience to study from your home or office.
New England College (NEC's) Master of Arts in Public Policy is one of the most exciting alternatives available for graduate study. Students have direct access to faculty who are active in the determination of policy and the public discourse on government and politics at the national, state and local levels.
This opportunity to study with knowledgeable and experienced leaders who bring to their teaching the insights that can only be gained through real world, hands on participation in government and the political process, distinguishes NEC's Public Policy program.

MAPP students engage with both faculty and students who have "been there" and who understand the relationship between theory and practice, because they are active professionals in government, politics, non-governmental agencies and advocacy organizations.

In addition to the program's core faculty, students have exciting opportunities to observe the political process at close range and in an exclusively intimate manner, because of New Hampshire's central role in national campaigns and elections. New England College is an established stop on the campaign trails every election year and a "must-do" on the schedule of nearly every candidate for national office who vistis New Hampshire.

Students in the Public Policy program also benefit from the activities of NEC's Center for Civic Engagement, a respected on campus academic program and a strong faculty whose members are regularly sought out by the media to provide commentary and discussion of critical issues and current events.
