A program in the School of Public and International Affairs
As our society faces increasingly complex legal and social concerns such as aging populations, environmental and health care dilemmas, ineffective educational systems and homelessness, we turn to those who can handle our global village's rapid changes.
The B.A. in Policy, Politics and International Affairs program is far from a traditional political science program; instead, it combines public administration, public policy, political theory, comparative government and international relations. You'll learn to apply analytical skills to national and global problems of the 21st century.
