If you're considering a master's degree at the Ford School we encourage you to attend our upcoming in person graduate information session. You'll hear about our degree programs and have an opportunity to meet with members of the Ford School community.
For students with an interest in the Ford School's bachelor's of public policy degree program, we host an information session each fall at our home in Joan and Sanford Weill Hall, adjacent to the law quad on State Street. Join us to learn more.
Spring Preview is a weekend designed to give newly admitted master's students all the information they need to make a decision about pursuing a Ford School master's degree. Admitted students have the opportunity to meet with Ford School faculty, students, staff, and alumni, and get a chance to visit the University of Michigan campus and city of Ann Arbor.
Day 3: Polish your writing skills in time for your first grad paper, prep for your Calculus Waiver Exam, and give back to your new community by participating in a group service activity!
