[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's widely understood that Duke has the best undergrad public policy program, not just in terms of ranking (depth/breadth of the department historically) but in terms of actual educational/professor quality.

However, with that said, [b]undergrad public policy at the better institutions is more broadly understood as a liberal arts major closer to political economy or economics with a political tilt, so I would also look closely at institutions with strength in those areas even if they aren't necessarily exactly known for having a "public policy" major as such.  Yale, for example, has an "ethics, politics, and economics" major which is virtually identical to what Duke calls public policy, [/b]so it might not be a bad idea to take a look at other institutions as well.

OP here - Thank you!! You put into words what we’ve been circling around at home. This is what we’re looking for. Right now it’s less about the rankings (we’re not that rigid) or the tactical career advice (we’re not there yet.) But you helped us hone in on the fact that we’re coming at this from a broader, humanities-education perspective.

DC is quite skilled on the math/quant front but is looking for something broad-based for undergrad. We all expect grad school will follow at some point, but the specifics will depend on which way their undergrad interests take them.

Again, thanks for your insight. And for everyone else on this thread, too. Super helpful! [/quote]
