Law and Public Policy - Mixed-Model (Ph.D.)

In this specialization, you will examine how legal decisions and the law have a significant impact on the creation of public policy. Discover the relationships between law and public policy, and learn how to access vital legal knowledge available to public policy practitioners. Gain a solid background in legal concepts, cases, and current trends that will give you a head start if you decide to pursue a law degree or if you encounter legal questions in your workplace.

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.
