Course Overview

Policy plays a critical role in addressing the many environmental, social, economic, and technological challenges facing society. The public policy degree provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to analyze and advocate for policy change in both private and public organizations.

Students must complete a five course concentration in an area of study. Sample concentrations include biotechnology policy, computer crime policy, computer software policy, energy policy, engineering policy, environmental policy, and information and telecommunications policy. With the help of a faculty adviser, students can customize a concentration based on their interests and professional aspirations. Students apply skills acquired in general public policy courses to specific policy areas. Many concentration courses, including those that provide a firm grounding in science and technology, are offered through other majors at RIT. This gives students an opportunity to interact and study with researchers and faculty from a broad range of disciplines.
