Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy WHY STUDY PUBLIC POLICY? Business, government, and the civic sector are becoming increasingly interconnected through partnerships and collaborative efforts to respond to society’s problems and needs. Public policy affects all aspects of society from the economy to healthcare, the environment, education, international relations, and more. The BPP may be useful for students considering careers in a variety of policy-related fields, including jobs in policy analysis institutes, research and not-forprofit organizations, and as consultants for business and government entities. All students could benefit from a major in Public Policy to deepen their understanding of public problems in the U.S., policy solutions to these problems, and their own role as individual citizens in the policy environment.
