Departmental Mission:
The department of Public Policy Leadership engages high performing students to accomplish five aims. Our students will (a) develop effective thinking, communication, and interpersonal skills, (b) recognize the importance and demands of ethics, diversity, and responsible leadership, (c) understand policymaking – from the local to the global, (d) acquire skills in policy analysis, and (e) deepen their substantive knowledge of particular policy areas.
At the moment, the department offers an undergraduate B.A. in Public Policy Leadership, offered to students in the College of Liberal Arts. We are in the process of creating a minor as well.
We are a young department, aiming at excellence. Our highly motivated faculty members have developed approximately one third of the curriculum. You can see our current course list here. We are constantly refining our course offerings, and will be adding many new courses as soon as the University approves them.
