The Public Policy Department at William Jessup University allows students to learn from professionals and experts currently working in the public policy arena in the intimacy of the classroom. Students not only gain insightful knowledge and hands on experience, but also meet individuals in specific policy fields they may be interested in pursuing.
The Public Policy Department offers students opportunities to be trained by prestigious community leaders, judges, activists, lawyers, city and state officials, as well as international policy makers.
