The O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the Department of Political Science share equally in delivering Public Policy as a filed of concentration. Students in the Public Policy Program select two concentration areas—one from O'Neill and one from Political Science—in addition to the required concentration in public policy.

These fields of concentration include the following:

O'Neill:
Environmental Policy
Policy Analysis
Public Finance
Public Management

Political Science:
American Politics
Comparative Politics
International Relations
Political Philosophy
Political Theory and Methodology

Course offerings in O'Neill and Political Science help the student prepare for examinations in these fields, and students supplement their course work with directed readings and research. There is no predetermined set of courses required of all students. Course selection is the responsibility of the student, working in conjunction with his or her Progress Review Committee.
