The Public Policy specialization explores U.S. public policy through multiple academic lenses. Government-produced public policy serves as a key tool for addressing societal challenges and collective action dilemmas, though no single policy approach exists. While shaped through political processes, these policies significantly impact both society and the economy, warranting cross-disciplinary examination. Within this program, students will focus on a specific policy domain while acquiring analytical techniques to evaluate policies and their effectiveness in solving social issues from various academic viewpoints. The curriculum emphasizes applying social science theories and methodologies to comprehend contemporary American policy challenges.
