專(zhuān)業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么?
The formulation and evaluation of public policy has become a major concern for both public officials and citizens in U.S. society. Even technical policy issues raise questions about social values and assume knowledge of concepts that call for philosophical exploration. As part of the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, the master’s program in philosophy and social policy addresses questions of public policy from a humanistic perspective.
Our M.A. offers an interdisciplinary course of study in the field of public policy, with a concentration in philosophy and social policy. The “policy core” includes courses in political science, economics, quantitative methods and a variety of approaches to policy analysis. These courses ensure that all candidates for the Master of Arts in Public Policy acquire methodological skills indispensable for the analysis of policy issues.
In the “philosophy core,” students examine the broad normative and institutional backgrounds within which specific policy decisions are framed. The program prepares students to bring the normative, historical and logical tools of philosophical inquiry to bear upon policy issues. Through case studies, students analyze the underlying concepts and value implications of specific policies in areas including welfare programs, access to health care, protection of the environment, health and safety, equality of opportunity and protection of human rights.
Concentrations within this program include bioethics and health policy, urban and welfare policy, and environmental philosophy and policy. Students may choose to pursue specific concentrations reflecting their interests.
