About This Program

Addressing and understanding policy in areas ranging from education, health, and immigration to sustainability and urban planning is at the heart of NYU Wagner's mission. By combining this approach and expertise with the College of Arts and Science's rigorous curriculum in the social sciences, the joint minor in Public Policy offers both a broad introduction to policy-making and a wide range of electives on specific areas of policy. The minor is a firm foundation for students aspiring to careers in the policy arena as well as those aiming to become engaged and informed citizens. CAS students should email wagner.undergraduate@nyu.edu to declare the minor. Students in other NYU schools can apply for the minor in NYU Albert in the My Academics section of the Student Center.
