Giving Guide: Clinton School of Public Service – UA Foundation

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.
