Courses
Public policy is an interdisciplinary field; consequently, the PPRS curriculum draws on courses, methodologies, and faculty expertise from fields across all four Penn undergraduate schools.
Through their PPRS courses, students gain a broad introduction to the policymaking process and the economic analysis of policy, while also acquiring some depth of knowledge in a chosen public policy “track”. The curriculum culminates with a senior year capstone course, in which students deploy all they have learned in the analysis of a real-life policy question.
