Government, National Security, & Policy Cohort Experiences

We are excited to welcome students to the Public Policy Leaders Program! Students who meet the following requirements during the 2026-2027 academic year will automatically be enrolled in the program and do not need to apply directly:

• Attend at least one policy competition

• Attend at least one policy career course

• Meet with a Career Advancement adviser

The Public Policy Leaders Program allows students to explore careers pathways in public policy and public service. PPLP students will be eligible to receive a transcript designation and have access to dedicated career advising, programming and internship opportunities. PPLP summer internship funding is available, and students are encouraged to meet with their adviser to discuss applying for summer internship funding.

This program is possible thanks to a generous gift from the Neubauer Family Foundation, Joe Neubauer (MBA’65) and Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer.
