Internal Resources
Public Policy Initiative at UCR
The Public Policy Initiative at UCR brings together faculty and students from different disciplines to work on issues of policy importance to the region, state, nation and the world.
In addition to being instrumental in the establishment of a full-fledged School of Public Policy at UCR, it promoted the new undergraduate major and minor in public policy within the College of Humanities, Arts, and the Social Sciences (CHASS) and sponsors the Paul and Diane Garrett Public Policy Seminar Series
Public Policy Major/Minor
The UCR Public Policy major/minor provides students with a set of research, analytical, and management skills that are transferable across sectors and across issue areas. It prepares students for a career not only in public service (federal, state and local government agencies) but also at not-for-profit and for-profit organizations.
