The Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs provides students with an overview of the issues that engage the public and nonprofit sectors such as: (1) how organization and management differ among sectors, (2) the tools required to solve public problems and undertake leadership roles in the community, and (3) the policy processes that lead to effective decision-making.

Students have the opportunity to participate in internship programs designed for maximum flexibility so that many valid learning experiences can qualify as internships.

Public affairs graduates work in the public and nonprofit sectors including the judicial system, environmental organizations, consulting firms or labs, law enforcement, management, planning departments, lobbying groups and advocacy agencies, federal, state and local governments, nonprofit agencies, private corporations. Many students also choose to continue their education in law, planning, public affairs, or environmental science.
