Public Policy (BA)

By examining the relationships between government, economics, and communities the Public Policy major prepares students to develop informed solutions to public issues. Graduates will be able to identify policy problems and opportunities, learn how and when to address them within particular social and political contexts, and use analytical, qualitative and quantitative skills to create and evaluate policy solutions. Graduates will be prepared to pursue further study and/or careers in law, public policy, public administration, the social sciences, education, business, and the nonprofit sector.
