Welcome to the School of Policy Studies

The School of Policy Studies offers a rich and rewarding learning experience that is unsurpassed in Canada and matched only by the best public policy programs in the world.  Through high quality interactive teaching and integrated learning, we enhance leadership in public policy by providing students the inspiration, skills, competencies and connections to become better contributors to the public good.  The MPA curriculum includes core courses in economics, policy analysis, governance, management and quantitative methods.  Through elective courses, students apply their skills to the analysis and resolution of concrete policy and management problems.

The Queen’s School of Policy Studies team won Gold at the National Public Administration Case Competition run by the Canadian Association of Programs in Public Administration (CAPPA) jointly with the Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC). The competition is designed to highlight the excellence of Canadian public administration programs and students, as well as provide a valuable learning experience for students.

Congratulations to the team: Kokul SathiyapalanSally TwinSarah HomsiThomas Goyer, & George Melika-Abusefein! We are so proud of everyone involved. Special thanks to Team Coaches Eugene Lang and Jianyuan (Andy) Hu and to the host institution Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy.

This is the first time Queen's has won Gold in over twelve years of history with this competition. Participants are organized into teams and presented with a ‘real world’ public administration case and accompanying background material and they work together to develop the best solution and deliver presentations for judges. The winning team is also provided an opportunity to publish an article on their presentation in the Policy Options journal published by the Institute for Research on Public Policy.
