Accelerated Master in Public Policy
Accelerated Master in Public Policy
For current University of New Hampshire undergraduates, there is an exciting opportunity to accelerate the MPP program by taking up to 12 credits in approved electives while still undergraduates. These students will then follow the standard MPP curriculum beginning in the fall following completion of their undergraduate degree. After finishing their spring semester, students who have achieved the maximum number of MPP credits as undergraduates will need to complete only their capstone and internship—which can be accomplished over the following summer.
The application fee is waived for any UNH students applying for accelerated master’s admission. For more information, please contact Sanjeev Sharma.

**Accelerated MPP students may “double count” up to 3 classes (4-credit courses) for their Bachelor & MPP degrees. These classes must be completed before the Bachelor degree is awarded.
NOTE: With careful planning, UNH accelerated MPP students could also complete an additional Graduate Certificate in topics such as Analytics, Sustainability Politics & Policy, or additional graduate certificate programs in development. In general, 2 courses in a Graduate Certificate Program can “double count” toward the MPP.
