The University of Massachusetts Amherst School of Public Policy is a school at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Formerly known and operated as the Center for Public Policy, the center was upgraded to a school in 2016 to reflect its changing mission.[1] The school offers an undergraduate certificate and master's degrees.[2] In October 2019, the school announced a five-year expansion plan that included the creation of an undergraduate public policy major to start in the Fall of 2021.[3]

Alumni includes Amy Ferrer, Director of the American Philosophical Association.[4]
