OUR MISSION As part of a leading public research-intensive university, the UIC Department of Public Administration is committed to advancing the knowledge and practice of public administration and public policy through excellence in education, research, and engagement with public and nonprofit organizations in the Chicago region, the nation, and abroad. STAY CONNECTED! @uicdpa facebook.com/uicdpa cuppa-pa.uic.edu “However long we are keepers of the public trust, we should never forget that we are here as public servants, and public service is a privilege. Public service is, simply and absolutely, about advancing the interests of Americans.” PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA QUESTIONS? Kelly LeRoux Director of Undergraduate Studies and Associate Professor Public Admin (M/C 278) room 135 CUPPA Hall phone: 312-355-2672 email: kleroux@uic.edu THE FACULTY The Chronicle of Higher Education ranked our faculty as the 8th most productive of public administrations programs in their most recent index. We believe research and practical experience are paramount for developing coursework informed by current developments in the field, and our faculty members actively strive to make connections between their research and the classroom. We also strategically employ a small number of adjunct professors with years of experience in the field to bring their extensive practical knowledge to bear in the classroom.
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.
