The ASU Master of Science & Technology Policy program (MSTP) is a one-year program that uniquely prepares its graduates to have an impact in today’s technologically complex world. Drawing on some of the world’s leading experts and innovative thinkers, it is designed to train future leaders, policy makers and analysts in tackling complex issues that range from space exploration, climate change, energy security and responsible innovation, to public health, global development and social justice.
The program is suited to anyone interested in a career where they work to ensure that science and technology serve society through responsive and effective policy development and implementation. Students come from a very wide range of backgrounds, and go on to develop successful careers in government, business, academic institutions, and non-government organizations.
What makes the program unique:
• We have designed it especially for students who want to pursue the rapidly growing array of professional careers at the interface between science and technology and other important aspects of society, including public policy, industry and management, education, and the public.
• Our students tackle some of today’s biggest challenges: technological innovation, climate change, inequality, energy transitions, social responsibility, health innovation, information and privacy, space exploration, and many more.
• We encourage students from all disciplinary backgrounds, including the sciences and engineering, social sciences, and humanities.
• Students are able to draw on courses across ASU to design a unique, personally-tailored curriculum to accelerate their own career goals.
