Career Development Office

We're your pro-bono recruiter.

Welcome to Harris. As a top-ranked public policy school for more than a quarter-century, the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy works at the forefront of data collection and analysis.

Our students learn to leverage data, put evidence first, and elevate information over instinct, while utilizing the latest technology and social science methods to design policies that work for society. Rigorous coursework in microeconomics, statistics, analytical politics, and organizational theory equips students with the quantitative and analytical skills to evaluate and recommend sound policies in a variety of contexts.

We collaborate across the private, public, and nonprofit sectors, adopting new methodologies to drive better solutions. As the Career Development Team, we’re your pro bono recruiter. Our goal is to save you time and cost by providing a personalized search for world-class talent.
