About Public Policy
The minor in public policy (PPM) is an interdisciplinary program that offers students the opportunity to learn applied public policy skills and practical analysis. The program provides diverse, interdisciplinary, analytical and applied approaches that prepare students for policy positions in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. Beyond the core courses in public policy, students can choose a variety of complementary courses related to applications of public policy in the real world.
The courses in the PPM are designed to help students develop the core skills they would need to succeed as professional researchers, analysts, project managers, and policy advisors. The capstone course offers a simulation exercise by which groups of students will seek solutions through a contemporary policy problem.
