Public Policy and Urban Affairs - Kalamazoo College

Public Policy and Urban Affairs from Kalamazoo College is a Campus Bachelor Urban Studies degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. Public Policy and Urban Affairs : Program Information Centered in the social science division, the concentration in public policy and urban affairs represents an interdisciplinary approach to the study of social problems and public policy in contemporary industrial societies. It encourages students to focus on and get involved in the significant policy-related problems confronting their generation, prepares students to think from the perspective of policy makers, and promotes public service. The concentration is open to all students, but naturally complements study in anthropology- sociology, economics, human development and social relations, and political science. Combining concern for both urban and national policy, this concentration seeks to take advantage of the College's urban setting as well as opportunities for internships and study around the country. At the local level, in part through various service learning classes, we support study, research, and internships in metropolitan Kalamazoo. The College's affiliation with the Philadelphia Center Program, together with its career development and SIP quarters, provides openings for work and research in national centers. (Limits apply to the number of participants in the Philadelphia Center Program.) Off-campus experiences will serve both to develop practical experience and to promote insights based on comparisons between different approaches to social problems.
