在这里学什么？

We face unprecedented policy challenges. Years in the making, these challenges won’t vanish overnight. They will require the efforts of an energetic and committed generation, prepared to lead the way toward creative solutions.

OVERVIEW

The Ford School BA in Public Policy is a liberal arts degree, based in the social sciences, that gives students the knowledge and skills needed to analyze policy problems, understand the stakes, and create viable solutions. Our undergraduate program builds on two traditional strengths of the University of Michigan: our strong, interdisciplinary social sciences and our students’ focus on issues involving politics and public affairs.

Public policy degree candidates benefit from the Ford School's small–school connectedness and flexibility while taking advantage of the University of Michigan's world–class resources. Working in small groups with distinguished faculty, students from around the U-M bring diverse talents to bear on real-world policy issues, and lay the groundwork for equally diverse professions. They champion their interests with intelligence and passion. Then they share them with the world.

Coursework combines classes in economics, political science, and other social sciences disciplines with integrative policy seminars that provide opportunities for students to work together in teams to apply their skills in the analysis of contemporary policy problems. This experience, grounded in the liberal arts, provides an excellent foundation for later professional training in a broad range of professions.

The faculty at the Ford School come from a broad range of disciplines (economics, political science, sociology, psychology, mathematics, history) and other professional schools (business, social work, education, information, urban planning, natural resources and environment, medicine). Additionally, the Ford School BA program is connected to a broad set of programs and activities, such as the School’s research centers, visiting professors and speakers, and student organizations.

FOCUS AREAS

The field of public policy touches many academic disciplines and a broad range of policy arenas. Students design focus areas that allow them to develop a deeper understanding of a policy area that interests them.

Focus areas can address an area of public policy, a perspective on public policy, or the policy issues concerning a specific geographic region. Students will take four upper–level classes (12 credits) from any school or college at U-M or during a study abroad/study away program.

Examples of past student focus areas include: Energy Policy, Health Care Policy & Infectious Disease Control/Prevention, Economic Perspectives on Public Policy, Historical Perspectives on Foreign Policy, Development Policy in Southeast Asia, and Middle Eastern Policy.

POLICY SEMINARS

Policy seminars are small, interdisciplinary courses that focus on specific policy issues, domestic and international, with an expert in the field. Students will take one policy seminar during both junior and senior year. Seminars typically emphasize teamwork, writing, analysis, and/or oral presentation.

Recent policy seminar topics include:

U.S. social welfare policy Ethics and international affairs Climate change governance Political advocacy K-12 education policy Human rights Health care reform Apology, reconciliation, reparations, and public policy
