When Tamara Coger wanted to make a career pivot to work in climate policy, she found the perfect vehicle in Brown University’s Master of Public Affairs (MPA) program. The program provided her with the tools she needed — including a solid grounding in economics and statistics — as well as the flexibility to adapt its curriculum to her specific needs.

The Policy in Action Project — a hands-on work and learning venture — is the capstone to every MPA student’s education at Brown. The MPA Program curates high-profile partnerships with governmental and non-governmental agencies across the country and around the world. The suite of projects also includes several in the Providence and Rhode Island area, allowing MPA students to see the tangible impact of their efforts.
