The Undergraduate Public Policy Minor offers students the opportunity to learn applied public policy skills and analysis. The program prepares students for policy positions in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors through interdisciplinary academic learning and practical policy skills. Students complete core courses in public policy, and can build the rest of their curriculum by selecting from complementary courses applying public policy in the real world.
