Overview of the Major


The Education and Public Policy major leading to the B.S. degree is the university’s response to the growing demand for skilled and effective policy experts in education at the local, state, and federal levels. Increasingly, for-profit and non-profit organizations, think tanks, legislators and policymakers, and government agencies are calling for sophisticated policy analysts to develop within-organization educational programs and to create and implement innovative public education reform. The EPP major provides the training, knowledge, and experience students need to enter the educational policy world or continue with their education at the graduate level in law, graduate study, or public service.

EPP students engage in an interdisciplinary course of study allowing for flexibility in electives and program emphasis. A summer session field placement hones professional skills, project organization, and research methodology through a hands-on policy project in one of several national locations established through connections with the College of Education’s world-renown faculty.
