TESTIMONIAL FROM
PUBLIC POLICY ALUMNA

"The Public Policy PhD program was a positive experience for me. The part-time option gave me the opportunity to continue in my current job working for the state Department of Environmental Protection while expanding my horizons and earning a doctorate. Many things I learned I was able to apply on the job and vice versa. Plus, I feel that I was able to keep my career going in the work world. I was avidly supported by all the faculty and staff."
