The Public Policy graduate program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County was created in 1974 under Chancellor Calvin B. T. Lee. Now known as the School of Public Policy, the program offers the master of public policy and PhD. degrees, and has an enrollment of over 130 students.[2]

History

Six years after the university's establishment, the Policy Sciences Graduate Program was organized as part of the graduate school and began enrollment two years later. The program became the Department of Public Policy in 2003.[3] The following year, the department moved into the newly constructed Public Policy in the core of the campus.

The program has been ranked No. 10 in the nation in faculty productivity, and is one of 3 programs in Maryland accredited by NASPAA (the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs and Administration) for the MPP degree. In 1982, the department established a research institute, the Maryland Institute for Policy Analysis and Research (MIPAR).[4]

In 2014, the department was transformed into the School of Public Policy.
