This program is tailored for students aiming for careers in public policy or administration within government or nonprofit organizations. The BA concentration focuses on the political dimensions of policy development, rooted in political science principles and knowledge of American, Comparative, and International governance. Curriculum highlights critical policy challenges facing U.S. officials and communities at all government levels. By concentrating on political systems and policy formulation, students gain theoretical and practical skills to transcend political divisions and learn how officials can effectively allocate resources to meet community needs while serving the greater good.
These academic requirements may be updated periodically by the department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences maintains discretion to approve adjustments for individual circumstances. Consequently, the College recommends students frequently consult with their major advisor and CLAS counselor to verify optimal degree plans before completion.
