School of Public Policy
The School of Public Policy offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Public Policy as well as undergraduate course work in several social science disciplines whose theories and methods contribute to the systematic study of public policy problems. Our faculty have built national and international reputations in the scholarly study of science, technology and environmental policy. As policy scholars committed to research, we investigate decision processes involving the public interest, in government, business, and civil society, and we involve our students in our research. As policy analysts, we learn through practice, and our students become competent to solve problems in a technological world.
