Alumni Careers

My time at USC Price gave me both the skills and confidence to grow as a public servant and leader. The curriculum bridged theory with practice, and the opportunity to engage with real-world projects challenged me to think creatively about complex problems. What stood out most was how the program solidified my interests in public-private partnerships and showed me the impact these collaborations can have in shaping sustainable and inclusive communities. The support from professors and peers alike made my experience truly transformative, and I carry those lessons with me every day in my career.

"When researching MPA programs, I desired a rigorous curriculum that would challenge me as a researcher, writer and public servant. The MPA program at Price exceeded my expectations, requiring me to rise to the occasion and raise my criteria of good-quality work. The program well prepared me for leadership, not only as a public employee, but also as a global citizen. Faculty advisors, my cohort coach and my peers were always helpful, informative, and inspiring and made my time in the program enjoyable, even through challenges."
