Georgia Tech and Georgia State University offer a joint Ph.D. in Public Policy for students interested in the intersection of science, technology, and innovation policy with public administration, public finance, or nonprofit management.
Students benefit from the combined strengths of the two nationally recognized programs through courses and research opportunities at both institutions. The joint Ph.D. is ideal for applicants interested in topics outside of the four core fields offered at Georgia Tech or for those seeking a broader interdisciplinary experience.
The Andrew Young School of Policy Studies is a leader in public financing and budgeting, nonprofit management, urban policy, and local government management, while the Carter School excels at science, technology, and innovation policy, researching these areas at one of the world’s top technological institutions.
