About NYU Wagner

NYU Wagner's mission is to empower public service leaders to create and to implement innovative policies with sustainable impacts on the public good. Our faculty, through their research, teaching, and public service, transform approaches to resolving complex public interest problems that defy easy solutions. Our students develop interdisciplinary analytical and managerial knowledge and skills as part of an active and inclusive community dedicated to serving the public interest efficiently and equitably. An NYU Wagner education also cultivates a deep appreciation of the diverse contexts in which public needs arise and must be met, and students benefit from the extensive local and global resources that New York City offers. Wagner graduates emerge with the capacity and motivation to work across the public, nonprofit and private sectors as they design, implement, and evaluate policies and processes that meet public needs in countries, cities, and communities around the world.

Since 1938, NYU Wagner has been educating the world’s future public service leaders. We offer a Master of Public Administration in Public & Nonprofit Management & Policy, Master of Public Administration in Health Policy & Management, Master of Urban Planning, Master of Health Administration, Master of Science in Public Policy, Master of Science in Health Law and Strategy, Executive Master of Public Administration, and PhD in Public Administration.
