Interdisciplinary Policy Studies - Mixed Model (Ph.D.)

Walden's Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration with a concentration in Interdisciplinary Policy Studies will allow you to work with government and community shareholders as you broaden your public policy perspective. Public policy encompasses a wide range of issues from legislative rulings to homeland security. Gain a more thorough understanding of complex and interrelated policy challenges, including public health and safety, urban sprawl, immigration, and affordable housing.

The Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration program prepares you to meet the challenges of governance and effective service delivery as government and nonprofit institutions increasingly become intertwined. You'll integrate scholarly research with your professional experience, gaining the knowledge, confidence, and expertise to create effective solutions.

The mixed-model option is a more flexible program of study that includes online courses and Walden's signature Knowledge Area Modules (KAMs). Study independently and work closely with a faculty mentor to apply your research to an area in which you are passionate.
