About the School of Public Policy

The Lipscomb University School of Public Policy is based on innovative programs established over the last decade. Local, state, national and international organizations have partnered and contributed over $3 million in committed funding to the College of Leadership & Public Service.

Our School of Public Policy houses a unique master’s program in leadership and public service that is preparing emerging professionals for service in both their communities and their industries. The MLPS program also offers a specialized cohort for Tennessee National Guard service members, which was awarded the Army Community Partnership Award in 2023. The School of Public Policy offers degree programs that draw engaged thinkers to a program that immerses them in a powerful matrix of academics, networks, mentoring and fieldwork that will let students build a powerful portfolio that they graduate with. The school brings together thought leaders who are deeply engaged in experiential learning and active, deliberate community involvement, resulting in the school serving as a unique laboratory for innovative problem-solving.

Consider adding leadership and public service to your skill set. Certainly, it will add academic achievement to your portfolio, but it will also be a capability with limitless application, in your work, your family and your community.
