The Program in Public Policy Analysis is one of Pomona
College’s most distinctive majors. Usually reserved for
graduate level study, this multi-disciplinary major melds
education in a traditional academic field (such as economics
or biology) with a core curriculum in policy analysis. It
combines the broad and disciplined foundations of a liberal
arts curriculum with the hands-on, problem-focused approach
of policy studies. The Program in Public Policy Analysis
seeks to provide a distinctive liberal education for leaders
in our global society, who will face socially complex and
ethically challenging issues and decisions.
The field of public policy analysis has emerged over the
past few decades in response to the social need for
inquiries and prescriptions which transcend the boundaries
of traditional academic disciplines. The PPA program
accomplishes this by offering a broad array of analytical
techniques, a wide perspective on pressing social issues,
and practical experience in the dynamics of policy-making
organizations.
The program has ten formal majors
but also welcomes students who design special majors to meet
their unique academic interests. In addition to the Director
and Associate Director the program is also supported by
Departmental Faculty Liaisons.
