Public Policy

专业介绍

The Master of Science in Public Policy is designed for students with strong analytical backgrounds, such as those received in engineering, natural science, or an analytically oriented social science or humanities curriculum. Graduate studies in public policy focus on areas in which either the consequences of scientific and technological activity have significant public policy implications, or technical and scientific information is a significant input to the policy-making process. Current areas of specialization for the School include science and technology policy, environmental and energy policy, information and telecommunication policy, and regional economic development policy.

BS/MS Option (Public Policy)

Students completing both a bachelor’s and master’s in public policy at Georgia Tech may use up to six credit hours of graduate-level coursework in the major discipline for both degrees. Students still must complete all other course requirements for both degrees. 

Students will work with advisors on selecting which 6 hours will share between the undergraduate and graduate degrees. These courses will be noted in DegreeWorks on the graduate record.
