The School of Public Affairs offers a concentration in law and policy as part of the BS in public service and public policy. Through this concentration, students who have an interest in public policy focus on legal issues and the policy implications, broadening their educational experience while concentrating in an area that is in high demand.

The program is primarily focused on individuals working or interested in working in the public sector.
