“The master's degree program at the UCR School of Public Policy is preparing the next generation of leaders within the Inland Empire and the state,” said Alfredo Barcenas, second-year MPP student. “Joining the program has allowed me to expand my skills, learn more about current issues through data and explore ways on how I will be able to make that difference in my local community and beyond."

Laura Shah, another second-year MPP student, said, “I chose the UCR MPP Program because of the potential job opportunity found through the summer internship requirement. In addition, the program has helped me figure out what line of work I am interested in pursuing as a career choice.”
