About Pardee RAND Graduate School

Housed within RAND, Pardee RAND Graduate School is known for rigorous, hands on policy training that blends economics, data methods, and social science with real project work. Students learn in seminar style classrooms, tap a serious research library and computing resources, and get steady advising, writing help, and career coaching. The culture skews analytical and collaborative, with spirited debate encouraged and a mission minded vibe that feels grounded, not flashy.

Life outside class stretches from beach runs and bike paths to art houses and coffee-fueled study sessions. Regular talks bring practitioners to campus, and students often plug into government, nonprofit, and industry projects that build portfolios while opening doors. The local community offers fieldwork and partnerships, and Los Angeles adds depth in every direction. What distinguishes the place is the embedded research experience. You're not just learning policy. You're practicing it, day to day.
