Public Policy spans a variety of different disciplines, connecting any discipline’s focus with the laws, policies and institutional framework surrounding that particular focus. Someone entering the world of policy benefits from a broad knowledge of policy issues, and specific information about how agencies operate.
Building on a core set of courses on public policy, policy analysis and statistical methods, students branch out into areas directly connected to their policy interest ranging from globalization, health care, education, gender and development, human rights, climate change, environmental policy in general, and beyond.
