Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Public Policy
Public Policy majors learn how to formulate, evaluate, and promote policy options that can make a difference in their cities, nation, and the world. The Public policy major draws from many disciplines, including law, economics, political science, sociology, history, urban studies, geography, and environmental studies. Our students learn about the public policy process and also develop substantive knowledge in policy areas such as health, education, and the environment.
The Public Policy major is in the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy & Administration, which has offered nationally ranked and internationally recognized graduate programs for 40+ years. Now, those learning opportunities are available to UD undergraduates.
