BA or BS in Planning, Public Policy and Management
University of Oregon
Description
The Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management (PPPM) offers an undergraduate major for students interested in public or nonprofit careers who seek to make a difference in their communities. Our approach is action-oriented, interdisciplinary, and focused on solving real-world problems. The size of the program is limited to create an environment that offers close student-faculty collaboration. Academic coursework and learning opportunities such as internships and field programs create a hands-on educational climate that is both exciting and challenging.
A degree with a major in planning, public policy and management (B.A. or B.S.) provides a sound basis for graduate study in fields such as urban planning, public policy, public management, business, law, journalism, public health and social welfare. In addition, graduates are prepared for entry-level positions in public service, and nonprofit and private firms that address issues allied to planning, public policy and public management.
