//David Jaeger, Professor of Economics at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, will host a virtual information session on October 1, 6:00pm ET, to connect with students about the school’s new one-year Master of Public Policy program.
The defining characteristic of the program is a focus on policy analysis and causal inference, with coding in Python and integrating generative AI as a coding tool. The degree is open to all interested students with a B+ or above GPA, regardless of undergraduate major.
St Andrews will offer a 10% discount to students who commit to the program this fall in this inaugural year.
NOTE: If you’re unable to make the session and/or have questions before or after the session, contact Dr. Jaeger at: david.jaeger@st-andrews.ac.uk.

Please join him to learn about the program, where students will gain real-world experience working on a group “Policy-in-Practice” project for a domestic or international client. MPP students will focus on data analysis and policy evaluation, incorporating generative AI as a coding tool. Unlike most MPP degrees in the US, the St. Andrews program takes one calendar year.
