Public Policy Minor

The public policy curriculum is built upon a core of required theoretical and methodological courses. In coursework, students study policy analysis or management or focus on a substantive area of public policy. Substantive areas include advanced policy analysis methods; economic and community development; global public policy; human rights; politics and governance; public and nonprofit leadership and management; public finance and budgeting; science, technology, and environmental policy; social policy; and gender and public policy. Students have multiple opportunities to apply the concepts learned to real-life policy problems.
