Public Policy

Rockhurst University’s BA in Public Policy prepares students to engage with the modern policy environment through interdisciplinary coursework that stresses in-depth analysis of political, economic, and social issues. In addition to the lower division and core coursework, students are required to complete an internship, co-op, or research project under the supervision of Rockhurst faculty. Combined with the broader Rockhurst experience focused on creating “men and women who reflect upon the reality of the world…with all its ambiguities, opportunities, and challenges,” this course of study provides students the skillset to impact policymaking in both public and private institutions.
