Are you in-state for Michigan?
@Alexandre,
Do you know what is the nature of the Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy? From what I've learned from the website, it is a liberal arts degree and adopts a problem-based approach to learning. It includes a mixture of Economics, Statistics and Politics. Important components will be research work and independent study. In particular, (Public Policy 495) will require presentations of the completed research to public officials. It seems heavier on analysis and critical thinking while mathematics seems much less important. Of course, the bulk of the degree would be focused on policy analysis and policy-making.
Do you know how companies view a PP (Public Policy) Major as compared to an Economics/Pre-Business Major. Looking at the rough outline of the curriculum, PP looks more suitable for students intending to work in the government/non-profits. I guess PP would also be very suitable for consulting but I'm not so sure for banking/finance. |
