The Graduate School: Departments and Course Descriptions PUBLIC POLICY (PUBP) Brinck Kerr Director 119 Ozark Hall 479-575-3356 E-mail: policy@uark.edu Valerie Hunt Associate Director 225 Old Main 479-575-2057 E-mail: vhunt@uark.edu For faculty list, see Web site. http://policy.uark.edu/ Degree Conferred: Ph.D. (PUBP) This interdisciplinary policy program has a strong emphasis on public affairs and will train policy leaders to directly address the policy issues of the people of Arkansas, the region, and the nation. The program provides a vehicle for the consideration of policy issues by students, faculty, and the larger community. Therefore, students and faculty will participate in colloquia, projects, and research that contribute to successful public policy. Leadership and administrative skills are included in the course of study, along with a strong emphasis on policy analysis that recognizes the complex nature of policy problems. Such an analytical approach will prepare students for work with governmental, educational, professional, and private sector experts who must cooperate in shaping public policy. Areas of Concentration: Agricultural Policy, Community Development and Growth Management, Disability Policy, Education Policy, Environmental Policy, Family Policy, Health Policy, Public Policy Leadership, Recreation Policy, Transportation Policy. (Other specialization options are possible. Contact us for more information.) Primary Areas of Faculty Research: See areas of concentration. Prerequisites to Degree Program: Applicants must have a master’s degree completed prior to beginning the doctoral program. The master’s degree should be relevant to the policy area of their specialization. For example, students with a master’s in geology might enter the agriculture policy specialization but not the family policy specialization. If students enroll in classes designated to address deficiencies, they may enter a specialization outside of their master’s area. These decisions will be made by the program faculty. An application should include identification of the applicant’s objectives and supportive background information including three letters of recommendation evaluating the applicant’s ability to successfully pursue a Ph.D. A GPA of at least a 3.00 on a 4-point scale for all graduate course work is required. Admission is competitive and based on the specialization and availability of an appropriate faculty mentor. Two students with identical packets may receive different decisions.
