Looking Into Public Policy Analysis

Currently I plan on majoring in Public Policy Analysis [Prelaw] with a minor in Secondary Education.

Here are the colleges that I have looked at, read about, and liked. Some of them do not have a direct Public Policy Major...
UNC – CHAPEL HILL Chapel Hill, North Carolina
BROWN Providence, Rhode Island
MARQUETTE Milwaukee, Wisconsin
ST. LOUIS St. Louis, Missouri
CORNELL Ithaca, New York
SYRACUSE Syracuse, New York
WISCONSIN-MADISON Wisconsin, Madison
JOHN CARROLL University Heights, Ohio
WHEELING JESUIT Wheeling, West Virginia
BOWLING GREEN Bowling Green, Ohio
GEORGE MASON Fairfax, Virginia
XAVIER Cincinnati, Ohio


Any suggestions, concerns, comments (don't be too hard on the list - none of the schools are set in stone)?

Thanks in advance! I am looking of a safety for a top 10% 30 on the ACT and a match/reach. Thanks!

Public Policy - check out Pton and Duke, two elite polisci/pubpol programs not unsimilar to schools on your list

I like your list, are you MidWestern?

The University of Maryland at College Park. They have a School of Public Policy. And Rutgers has the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, but I think they only offer graduate degrees.

Yes I am a proud Ohiohan, who would love to get out of Ohio.

However - we'll see if that happens!

Duke/Princeton are VERY nice schools but may be too much of a reach.

I may be looking for something less selective.

Rutgers was a nice suggestion, but only offers it for a graduate degree - I'm looking for undergraduate!
