As
we begin the 21st century, the School of Economic, Political and Policy
Sciences is strategically positioned to offer
leadership in addressing society�s most pressing concerns. Our mission is simple:
develop scholars and practitioners who love to learn,
individuals who can integrate knowledge and analyze sophisticated problems, and
who are committed to advancing the search for truth and justice. Our domain is
broad: risk management, economic performance, terrorism, voter behavior, health
care, democratization, social inequality, international trade, and conflict
resolution only hint at the wide variety of specific topics that must be
addressed by informed social scientists. Our approach is comprehensive: strong
disciplinary foundations, a dynamic interdisciplinary environment, and a
striving to achieve a synthesis of theory-based knowledge and practical
experience through internships, workshops, and seminars.
The
School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences awards master�s degrees in
Applied Sociology, Criminology, Economics, Geospatial Information Sciences
(jointly with the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics), International
Political Economy, Public Affairs, Public Policy and Ph.D.s in Criminology,
Economics, Geospatial Information Sciences (jointly with the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science and the
School of� Natural Sciences and
Mathematics), Political Science, Public Affairs, and Public Policy and
Political Economy. Each degree program offers a rigorous foundation with enough
flexibility to specialize and earn additional certification in city planning,
crime and justice analysis, economic and demographic data analysis, evaluation
research, financial economics, geographic information systems, homeland
security, local government management, and nonprofit management. These
certificate programs are available to degree-seeking as well as non-degree
students seeking highly focused curricula that can benefit their professional
development. We invite you to explore our programs, scrutinize our faculty,
examine our resources, and, then, to join us as we prepare to face our future.
