Ford School faculty

Shape your future alongside dedicated mentors and world-class scholars who are redefining public policy.

At the Ford School, you’ll connect with extraordinary faculty who do more than teach—they challenge, inspire, and champion the next generation of policy leaders. Our faculty are nationally and internationally recognized experts in vitally important policy areas, and they are deeply engaged in the world of practice. Among them are senior government advisors, current and former members of the Council of Economic Advisers, leaders of international nonprofits, and visiting policymakers with years of practical experience.

Here, you won’t just study public policy—you’ll learn from and work alongside experts whose research and real-world perspectives are shaping the future of public policy. Ford faculty are committed mentors, eager to help you connect your goals to meaningful impact and chart your unique path in public service.

You'll be surrounded by the brightest policy minds, and you'll be challenged to sharpen your understanding of the world. People at the school wanted me to succed. I use what I learned every day.
