Employment and Graduate Studies

Social Research and Public Policy majors will be regarded as excellent candidates for law school, and for graduate programs such as:

  • public policy
  • business school
  • public health
  • education
  • urban planning
  • social work

Graduates will have a good chance to land in jobs working for NGOs, in public service, urban planning, and community action. Its breadth and its emphasis on critical thinking and hands-on empirical research, especially research linked to policy questions, distinguish the major.

 

I intend to continue to study Public Policy and reflect on ways we can reform education so that we empower the youth through knowledge and character development.

Maith Salem Al Memari, Rhodes Scholar who will pursue a Master of Public Policy at University of Oxford
