The Bachelor of Science in Public Policy degree program combines political, social, economic and ethical approaches with practical problem solving in a technology-infused environment.

An important part of the undergraduate degree program in Public Policy is to learn how to navigate among the many disciplines that are used to shape strategic decisions.

The Bachelor of Science in Public Policy provides strong analytical, communication, management, and leadership skills to students seeking careers in public service, law, and the private sector.

There are many interfaces between the realm of public policy and nearly every program of study at Georgia Tech. Engineering, the sciences, management, architecture, computing, and the liberal arts are impacted by – and affect – the decisions made by governments.

The Minor in Public Policy allows students to develop the multidisciplinary thinking skills that are needed for strategic decision making in business and technical professions as well as law and public policy.

The Doctoral in Psychology program provides the student with specialized coursework and opportunities for research in:

• Cognition and Brain Science
• Cognitive Aging Psychology
• Engineering Psychology Industrial/Organizational Psychology
• Quantitative Psychology.

Each curriculum includes individualized study and research with a strong foundation in general experimental psychology as a basis for this specialization.

Focus: advancing study and research in areas such as cognition and brain science, cognitive aging, engineering psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, and quantitative psychology.

Undergraduate Degree in Psychology Overview

In addition to its state-of-the-art laboratories, Georgia Tech’s undergraduate psychology degree program offers several key advantages:

The Minor in Political Science is intended to broaden students' perceptions of political processes and governmental institutions.

Physiology is a highly integrative and complex discipline that provides the foundation for careers in many areas of scientific research, engineering design, clinical practice and public policy.

Focus: advancing knowledge and research around topics such as the physical principles of mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and the quantum theory that governs physical phenomena at the microscopic level of molecules, atoms, and nuclei.
