Established in 2007, the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy (JSGS) is the Saskatchewan 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.

The school is named after two of Saskatchewan's best-known public servants, Albert Wesley Johnson and Thomas Shoyama. The school offers five graduate 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), five Master's Certificates and executive and board education.

The JSGS:
