Promote equity and forge social change.
The concentration in Social Policy appeals to students who are committed to the study of social issues of public importance, who would like to pursue careers analyzing social needs and policy impacts as well as advocating for improved policies and implementation. To that effect, the curriculum offers courses on pressing social problems both in the U.S. and other parts of the world, and highlights linkages between inequality and discrimination, conflict, poverty, political and community participation, and social mobility. Students are trained in essential methods such as policy analysis and other rigorous tools of social science to bear on these important policy questions.
