Student Experience

GARGI SRINIVAS (Fall 2022)

“Enrolling in the online MA in Public Policy program at JGU has been an absolutely transformative experience for me. The diverse subjects offered in the policy program range from economic policies, social welfare and environmental policies among others. These interdisciplinary subjects along with the hands‑on projects are giving me a well‑rounded perspective while deepening my interest in public policy. A standout feature in the program is the live sessions with professors and instructors twice a week. These engaging interactions and discussions with fellow classmates and professors makes it almost similar to a classroom experience. The unwavering commitment and approachability of the faculty is also evident in their willingness to offer guidance and mentorship apart from the regular hours as needed. I believe this program will provide a robust academic foundation which will help us in making meaningful contribuions to society in our careers.”
