Public Policy

This is an archived copy of the 2022-23 catalog. To access the most recent version of the catalog, please visit http://catalog.ndsu.edu.

The Public Policy minor introduces students to the theory and practice of policy analysis. Students take an interdisciplinary array of classes associated with the fields of public policy and public administration. These classes involve the assessment of public needs, the design and implementation of programs and policies to meet those needs, the evaluation of those policies in terms of bringing about desired changes, and, finally, the alteration of policy based on its successes and failures. Thus, students get a sense of the policy process.

The Public Policy minor is open to all majors, including Political Science. If you have any questions, please contact the NDSU Department of Political Science & Pubic Policy at ndsu.poli.sci@ndsu.edu.
