Education: Bachelor's degree in Political Science

Why Carsey? The faculty, the staff, everyone here is super supportive and accomadating, and that's an important factor. They appreciate having me in the program, they've told me numerous times and they're being very accomadating in allowing me the flexibility I need to do the degree in a deliberate way, so I can work full-time while I do this.

Carsey Student Av Harris on the Master in Public Policy Program and His Journey

Master’s of Public Policy student Av Harris has started his master’s degree 24 years after receiving his undergrad degree from UNH in Political Science. Three kids and a career in journalism and state and municipal government later, Av has returned to the UNH community to further his education and advance his knowledge so he can help make big policy changes in the community and maybe even the world. Before attending the Carsey School, Av worked in journalism as a political journalist, both nationally and internationally, focusing on government policy. Av didn’t expect to return to Durham because the Carsey School didn’t exist when he graduated in 1998.
