The Public Policy curriculum perfectly intersects the social sciences, like economics, law, and management—all areas that deeply interest me. Studying this major at Cornell has allowed me to explore these disciplines holistically and simultaneously. Not only have I improved my understanding of these areas, but I've learned to apply them practically and view them through a policymaking lens. What I like most about studying Public Policy at Cornell is the emphasis on real-world impact. The curriculum encourages us to focus on areas of improvement and change toward a future of social equity. For instance, we've had opportunities to work on projects related to important societal issues like access to education and income equality. I find this experience incredibly fulfilling, and it has only reinforced my belief that effective policy is an exceptionally powerful tool.
