Undergraduate Programs
Our undergraduate programs are unique, interdisciplinary, and tailored to produce successful post-graduate employment.
We will provide you with a set of research, analytical, and management skills that are transferable across sectors and across issue areas. Our programs prepare you for a career not only in public employment (e.g., federal, state, and local government agencies) but also in for-profit firms' policy advocacy departments and non-profit organizations.
