Public Policy Research & Education
Carsey School of Public Policy
The Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire is nationally recognized for its research, policy education, and civic engagement. The ideas and ambitions of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are a touchstone for our faculty and students as we contribute to a more informed, healthy, equitable, peaceful and sustainable university, community, state, nation and planet. The school takes on pressing public issues with unbiased, accessible, and rigorous research; builds the policy and political problem-solving skills of its students; and brings people together for thoughtful dialogue and practical problem-solving. The school is a hub for work that spans its own faculty and staff, and faculty from across UNH and other institutions. The faculty boasts a national reputation and its work appears in leading journals. The school publishes policy-relevant briefs, offers three master's degree programs, and engages with experts, leaders, the media, and the public in the United States, New Hampshire, and around the world.
Global Conflict and Human Security (GCHS) Program Comes to the Carsey School
The Global Conflict and Human Security Master of Science program cultivates a deep understanding of the drivers of violent conflict and the myriad of challenges facing people in fragile states–from food scarcity to environmental degradation to terrorism. This online, transdisciplinary program has been at UNH-Manchester but, recognizing its synergies with existing Carsey School programs, it is now coming to the Carsey School. We look forward to sharing details about this exciting addition to our academic offerings in the days to come.
