At Princeton SPIA, We Lead
We are tackling today's most-pressing challenges — at home and abroad. Below are some current initiatives and focus areas.
Elections
Our experts address issues related to populism, democratic backsliding, and polarization.
Afghanistan Policy Lab

Climate Change
Today’s environmental challenges require global policies that adapt to uncertain conditions — and our experts are pioneers in the field.
At Princeton SPIA, We Learn
At Princeton SPIA, We Serve
In Service to the Nation and Humanity
Our unofficial motto captures the essence of the School and is embodied not only in our curriculum — designed to prepare students to pursue careers in public service — but also in the activities our students pursue outside of the classroom.
75 Years of Serving the Nation and Humanity
Princeton SPIA’s MPA program begins diamond anniversary celebration. Over the next two years, we will incorporate the celebration of this milestone anniversary into existing School events and will share remembrances from alumni, faculty, graduate students and staff.
