The University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs is one of the oldest, largest, and most comprehensive schools of public and international affairs in the United States. For more than 60 years, our mission has been to prepare students to make significant contributions to society through leadership in public service in government, nonprofit organizations, or the private sector. One of the few graduate schools that combines strong programs in domestic and international policy under one roof, we give you the opportunity to study fields as diverse as policy analysis, urban planning, international security, human rights, and environmental policy as part of the same degree.

As a part of the University of Pittsburgh, we are a leader in education, a pioneer in research, and an engaged partner in our region and around the world.  Through quality teaching, rigorous research, and service to communities and constituencies, we inspire graduates to make public institutions better, advance public interest, and realize a more equitable and inclusive society.

You’re ready to tackle society’s greatest challenges. We’re what comes next.
