Public Policy & Governance
Welcome to the Public Policy and Governance Program (PPG)
Solving real-world policy challenges requires multi-disciplinary tools to analyze problems, determine effective solutions, and decide on the best course of action. An undergraduate Major in Public Policy provides Social Science students with an opportunity to think in an interdisciplinary way by drawing on theories, approaches, and toolkits from Economics, Political Science, and beyond. Students develop theoretical and applied reasoning skills in policy analysis, along with a strong foundation in quantitative methods and research.
The Major in Public Policy is offered jointly by the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, the Department of Economics, and the Department of Political Science. Students enroll after first year and must meet the prerequisite conditions for all second-year and higher courses.
