MISSION:
The Clinton School’s Master of Public Service degree is grounded in an unshakeable belief: our common humanity is a powerful force for transformative, sustainable change.
The first Master of Public Service degree in the nation, the Clinton School’s MPS is an action-oriented program focused on equipping students for the tough work of on-the-ground change.
Intensive experiential learning has defined the Clinton School from its founding and goes far beyond conventional internships. While learning valuable lessons in the classroom, MPS students complete three for-credit public service projects ranging from local work in Arkansas communities to international projects across the world.
