Overview

The Social Policy concentration examines policymaking and the design and analysis of social programs. Social Policy analyzes the ways in which social policies and social institutions influence the course of human lives and the ways individuals and their contexts can shape social policies. While Social Policy serves as an umbrella for such areas as health care, education, anti-poverty policy, and criminal and social justice, it also offers the flexibility to explore many other policy areas.

Real-World Practical Experience

All Social Policy students complete a one-quarter practicum internship for academic credit during their junior year so they can use the skills and knowledge introduced in the classroom. They also conduct social science research. The Social Policy program at Northwestern University is offered year-round in Chicago and during the summer in San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
