Why the Public Policy Institute?
The Public Policy Institute (PPI) offers full-time and part-time program sequences and also offers dual degree paths. Course offerings keep pace with current industry demands across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
The JU Public Policy Institute has developed an extensive network of more than 40
industry partners, including a diverse cross-section of some of Florida’s most respected
and successful business, civic, and community leaders. Many of these partnerships
yield VIP visits and guest speakers, providing students direct access to elected officials
and experienced leaders in a variety of professions. The Institute seeks for its MPP
students to graduate with substantive knowledge, analytic and communication skills,
experience, a network of policy and industry leaders, and a servant's heart.
"Jacksonville University is one of Florida's best universities, and the JU MPP Program plays an important role in preparing students for diverse career and leadership opportunities. Policy-driven leadership is important to the future of our state and nation."
Will Weatherford, the Speaker of the House of Representatives for the State of Florida, and a 2002 graduate of JU
