Program Description

Bachelor of Science (BS): includes a math and science requirement and more emphasis on technical skill building. Beginning in Spring 2022, the Hobby School of Public Affairs will offer a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS) in Public Policy for students seeking a mission-oriented profession. Our degrees encompass coursework that is interdisciplinary, blending social sciences, critical thinking and qualitative and quantitative analysis to support positive public policy.

We seek students eager to develop leadership and life skills, along with training in ethics, communication and writing. Our degree programs incorporate opportunities for experiential learning, including paid internships and fellowships. Graduates of our programs will hit the ground running in their future careers, given their mastery of both the technical and humanistic aspects of public policy.  

For both incoming freshmen and transfer students, there are no additional requirements for acceptance to the Hobby School BA and BS programs beyond admission to the University of Houston.
