Do you have the passion and imagination to attack complex problems? Do you want to learn how to apply new knowledge and innovative approaches to make conditions around the globe better? At the LBJ School, we are policy entrepreneurs and the world is our arena. Difficult problems fuel our imagination. Our expert faculty, hands-on clinical experience and 6 interdisciplinary research centers prepare students to lead, whether in the public, non-profit, NGO or private sectors. We offer a 1:7 student-to-faculty ratio, 17 dual degrees (including law and business), enduring partnerships with national and international policymakers, and a new fast-track 18-month Washington Program – DC concentration. From sustainability to global trade to social policy, there is no better place in the nation to see real-life policy implications than Austin, Texas. It’s the arena we call home.
