专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Bachelor of Science in Public Policy program is an interdisciplinary academic program, drawing upon the insights of political science, economics, research methods and statistics and other related fields, to help students tackle the “wicked problems” resistant to resolution in domestic public policy such as climate change, poverty and health care.

The coursework provides the basis to analyze economic and political issues, knowledge of organizations and how to lead them, and the foundations of policymaking and implementation. Students also gain a specialization through a minor of their choice.

Students in the program will learn to:

• Draw upon skills from multiple disciplines to analyze and evaluate contemporary public policy problems.
• Apply their academic skills in an applied setting through an internship or undergraduate research.
• Develop their communication skills through written policy briefs and more in-depth analyses of issues in the academic discipline of public policy studies.
• Conduct public policy research and policy analysis in the capstone class.

Careers in Public Policy

Students seeking a degree in public policy will be equipped with critical skills necessary for positions in public, nonprofit and private sectors. Common placement is in the following areas: policy analysis, education, consulting, government agencies, communications, lobbying, non-profits/NGOS, transportation, public service or financial services. Many public policy graduates also pursue professional and graduate degrees in economics, law, public administration, public policy, public health, education and planning.

The University’s Career Center is an important resource for students pursuing their career. Licensed counselors are available to provide strategies for mastering job interviews, writing professional cover letters and resumes and help students connect with campus recruiters, among other services.
