Bachelor of Public Policy at Oregon State University

The Bachelor of Science in Public Policy is an interdisciplinary program that draws primarily from economics, political science and sociology to provide you with a full toolkit for analyzing and addressing the complex policy issues of your generation. Some of these challenges include climate change, demographic and population shifts, rapid technology development, and a globalized economy, and their impacts resonate across communities.  In a time of tight budgets and high skepticism of government, we are dedicated to preparing graduates who can develop and implement innovative, evidence-based solutions focused on serving the public good. The program's focus on policy methods, along with its specialization options in environmental, rural, and social policy will prepare you for exciting, high-impact careers in the government, nonprofit or private sectors, as well as graduate studies.
