專業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么？
The Social Policy program explores how policies function as the guiding principles that serve as the foundation for social programs. The Social Policy program analyzes how social policies and social institutions influence the course of human lives and the ways individuals can influence social policies. The program provides a strong background in social sciences and an understanding of current social policy issues. This interdisciplinary program also draws upon current research in the fields of African-American studies, anthropology, communication studies, economics, gender studies, history, philosophy, political science, public health, and sociology.
Flexible Coursework
In addition to core courses in life span development, research, and statistics, students have the flexibility to tailor the program to their unique interests by creating an interdisciplinary specialization. Many students choose to double major or minor while keeping social policy as their primary focus.
Faculty members use lectures, group work, case studies, presentations, field trips, and guest speakers to educate students about the theory of policy development, how policy is implemented, and its impact on human lives. Students use theories and research skills learned in course work to propose solutions to real problems.
Students may pursue research apprenticeships and independent study opportunities with faculty members in the School of Education and Social Policy or the Institute for Policy Research. Faculty research projects include studies of welfare and poverty, community development, public opinion and policy, achievement gaps in education, homelessness and education reform.
Concentration coursework addresses topics such as:
The intersection of politics and social policies Child welfare and juvenile justice The role of the courts in social policies Community organization and development Disparities in education, housing, health, and other public programs or services Economic models as they apply to public and private programs
After SESP
Social Policy students combine their strong academic training with real-world experience working with people to open a variety of doors after graduation. Many graduates go directly into the workforce upon graduation while others go to graduate school, often for law, public policy, medicine or public health, or pursue a fellowship. Graduates frequently find jobs of interest in public policy, government, advocacy, policy research and analysis, education, law-related fields, nonprofits and business. Below are some examples of the types of jobs and education programs recent graduates have pursued.
