The Evans School Ph.D. in Public Policy and Management can prepare you for teaching at the university level or for conducting research at public and nonprofit institutions.

We offer our students:

- Award winning faculty with specializations in education, social issues, the environment, international development, nonprofit management, urban planning, and more
- Exposure to the broad array of domestic and international perspectives on public policy accessible in the Seattle metropolitan area
- Tuition assistance through fellowships and research assistantships at the Evans School and in other University of Washington departments
We accept three to five Ph.D. students each year with the expectation that it will take four years to complete the degree.
