Established in 2007, the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy (JSGS) is a provincial centre for advanced education, research and training in policy and administration. Located on two university campuses – the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan – the school is a source of policy advice and commentary. With academic backgrounds such as political science, economics, sociology, geography, law and education, the school’s faculty members train graduate students in an interdisciplinary environment, educate the public on policy matters, and improve the knowledge base from which policymakers draw.[1]
The school is named after two of Saskatchewan's best-known public servants, Albert Wesley Johnson and Thomas Shoyama. The school offers six programs - Master of Public Administration (MPA, professional degree, CAPPA accredited), Master of Public Policy (MPP, research-based degree), PhD in Public Policy (PhD, research-based degree), Master of International Trade (MIT, online delivery), Master of Health Administration (MHA, online delivery) and various Master's Certificates.
The JSGS:
- employs faculty members which include three Canada Research Chairs, one Centennial Research Chair, and one Cisco Research Chair,
- has faculty expertise in social policy, health policy, innovation policy, Aboriginal peoples and natural resources policy, trade and immigration policy, environmental policy, and public-sector management,

- offers opportunities for students to enhance their postgraduate work with a federal, provincial or municipal paid internships,
- presents opportunities for students to engage with officials from all levels of government,
