Public Management
Requirements for major: Students may complete a major in public management with a minimum of ten courses. The elective courses are drawn from fields of study as diverse as philosophy, sociology/anthropology, and geology that focus on a particular area of public policy.
The public management major is offered with the B.A. or B.S. degree. No grade lower than a C will be accepted to fulfill a course requirement in the major.
Internships, directed readings, and fieldwork courses may be used to fulfill no more than two of the four departmental electives (no more than one from each category).
Policy debates are conducted in the language of mathematics and statistics. People expecting to influence policy will not be able to understand, much less contribute to, most policy debates without substantial comfort with statistical argument. The following courses are either required or highly recommended
All public management majors are required to participate in the mentoring program before graduation. Students spend a semester working with a leader in the field he or she intends to work in after graduation.
