Thoughts on Tech Policy Programs
I am applying to graduate school for my Master's in Public Policy/Public Administration (some schools call them different degrees but functionally the same).
I wanted to get some thoughts on the programs I am applying to and perceptions from "the field." I am hoping to focus on technology policy, generative AI, and privacy/risk assessments. I already have my law degree from Georgetown but have predominantly worked in social justice policy. I am looking to gain more quantitative skills and career pivot into tech policy.
The schools I have applied are finalized. They are:
- Harvard Kennedy School
- Princeton School of Public and International Affairs
- Carnegie Mellon University Heinz College
- Syracuse Maxwell School
- Michigan Ford School
- Duke Sanford
- Georgetown McCourt
- George Washington Trachtenberg
- American School of Public Affairs
- University of Maryland School of Public Policy
- University of Virginia Batten
What are your thoughts on the above programs?
Do any stick out in terms of being higher quality?
Do any stick out for being "known" as strong in tech policy?
Thanks for the help!
