The Policy track prepares students for either continued graduate study or careers immediately after graduation. Graduate programs include those in law, public administration, graduate social science programs such as in economics, political science, and sociology, interdisciplinary programs such as planning and urban development, environment and sustainability, economic development and development studies, and a wide variety of specialized administrative programs such as health administration. Students who decide to gain practical experience immediately upon graduation from Rockhurst would find some of the best opportunities in manufacturing and agriculture firms, business services, health care, utility companies, state and local government, and federal and international regulatory agencies and international organizations.
