Albion’s interdepartmental major in public policy allows students to get a broad background in the social sciences, while gaining institutional knowledge and analytic tools relevant to current domestic public policy debates.  The major prepares students for careers in government or for private-sector careers related to government policy.  It also provides good preparation for students planning on attending law school or earning a master’s degree in public policy, public administration, public health, or social policy.  The public policy major is offered by Albion faculty in Economics, History, Philosophy, Political Science, and Sociology.  

Most, but not all, past students majoring in public policy have also completed the Ford Institute concentration. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Professor Greg Saltzman or the other faculty teaching courses for the Public Policy major.
