Overview

The Hobby School of Public Affairs offers a Bachelor of Science in Public Policy for students seeking a mission-oriented profession. The degrees encompass coursework that is interdisciplinary, blending social sciences, critical thinking and qualitative and quantitative analysis to support positive public policy. The University of Houston seeks students eager to develop leadership and life skills, along with training in ethics, communication and writing. The degree programs incorporate opportunities for experiential learning, including paid internships and fellowships. Graduates of the programs will hit the ground running in their future careers, given their mastery of both the technical and humanistic aspects of public policy.
