The School of Public Policy and Social Research was established in 1994 to set a new direction for policy education, research and action. The School's distinctive approach emphasizes solving problems across boundaries-- political, cultural national -- and particularly at those points where the public, private and nonprofit sectors converge.

Although it is one of the country's newest policy programs, the School is also one of the largest, incorporating two distinguished UCLA units of long standing: the departments of Social Welfare and Urban Planning. Together with a vibrant new department of policy studies, the School offers master's degrees in public policy, social welfare and urban planning, and doctoral degrees in social welfare and urban planning. It is also one of the few policy schools with a major commitment to undergraduate education, offering a popular minor in public policy. The School houses nine research centers, including the Advanced Policy Institute, the Center for Globalization and Policy Research, and the Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies.

The School's chief outreach program, the UCLA Policy Forum, acts both as a catalyst for dialogue on critical issues and as a leader in training and other programs that draw on the expertise of the entire UCLA campus.

2000-'01 MILESTONES INCLUDE:
The School established the Center for Globalization and Policy Research. The Center director is Professor Allen J. Scott. Author and business consultant Kenichi Ohmae is honorary chair of the Center’s advisory committee. The Center’s research activities and events will deal with the impact of globalization on economic issues, migration and social policy, the environment and structures of justice.
Students in the School’s three departments can now take advantage of a set of courses designed to help prepare them for leadership and management careers in nonprofit and community-based organizations. The curriculum was developed through an initiative made possible by an anonymous $1.6-million gift to the School in 1999.
The School welcomed a number of new faculty, including former Vice President Al Gore, who accepted an appointment as a visiting professor less than a month after conceding the 2000 presidential election. Gore made a number of trips to campus to meet with faculty and students to work on the development of a curriculum on family-centered community economic development.
