Public Policy Minor

(21 UNITS)

The Public Policy minor introduces students to the field of public policy analysis and prepares them from a wide variety of majors for careers that require public policy knowledge and skills. The field of public policy analysis identifies and evaluates solutions to public problems and prepares students to be future government executives and administrators, high-level personnel in non-profit organizations and a rapidly expanding set of other careers in a global community. The minor complements preparation in such fields as political science, public administration, criminal justice, economics, law, business and other social sciences. Students who plan to pursue graduate work in these fields would also benefit from the Public Policy minor.
