In the school's own words

“The Ph.D. in Policy Studies is directed at students who have a master's degree in public policy/administration or a related field”

“Applications from recent college graduates without a master's degree who have an exemplary academic record with related research training may be considered, but a master's degree is strongly preferred.”
