Public Policy Career Services

Career resources for public policy majors

Earning a public policy degree can open the door to career paths in government and academia, business, public relations, and community development. OSU’s Bachelor’s program ensures career readiness with a professional seminar course, internship placement, and specializations in environmental, rural, and social policy or a general Public Policy focus.
