The need for smart policy professionals has never been as important as it is today. Organizations need individuals who understand the dynamic implications of an increasingly interconnected global economy, who have the ability to respond to changing rules and regulations, and who are talented in maximizing public-private partnerships to achieve objectives.

Students choose Chicago Harris to gain the tools and knowledge necessary to change the world, and employers choose Chicago Harris because they know our graduates have the skill set, the passion and the substantive knowledge to hit the ground running.
