Minor

The minor in Public Service & Public Policy prepares students for work in government at all levels and nonprofit organizations through comprehensive coverage of topics in public policy, public leadership and management and urban studies.  Students discover the challenges of management and learn how to lead a public organization and understand the process of policy development.

The minor allows students enrolled in other undergraduate programs at ASU to broaden their educational experiences. The minor has an applied and professional focus which can enhance many other majors and will make students more competitive in securing public sector jobs.
