Career Possibilities
This specialization is developed with potential employers in mind. The degree offers the student a set of skills and capacities that will be attractive to employers in the public and private sector. While there is an obvious relationship with careers in international agencies and in the foreign service, students graduating from this BPAPM specialization will be notable more generally for their policy focus, balanced interdisciplinarity and applied knowledge. Students may also wish to go onto graduate work in Public Affairs and Management or the Social Sciences.
