Description

The School of Public Affairs offers a concentration in science and technology policy as part of the BS in public service and public policy. The science and technology policy concentration prepares students to tackle many of today's most important challenges: climate change, energy, information privacy, public health and global development.

The program is focused primarily on providing students with the knowledge and skills required for entry- and mid-level supervisory and managerial positions in the public sector, such as city, county, state and federal agencies, though they would successfully function in many other types of organizations as well. For those who already have work experience, the degree provides further opportunity for promotion.

The science and technology policy concentration provides students with more specialized knowledge about the policy implication of science and technology-related decisions and actions.
