Academic Program for Future Students
The B.A. in Public Policy Leadership requires students to complete the general education courses, major in Public Policy Leadership, and a minor field of study. Students who complete a second major have more than satisfied the requirement of a secondary field of study, and thus are not required to also complete a minor. To see all your choices, visit Explore College Programs.
The degree sheet outlines these requirements and shows a sample four-year plan of study.
