What Sets Us Apart

The Pardee RAND Graduate School—one of the nation’s oldest public policy graduate programs—offers master's degrees in national security policy and policy analysis as well as the original Ph.D. in policy analysis. With campuses in Santa Monica, CA, and Arlington, VA, we are also the only program based at an independent public policy research organization—RAND.
