The B.A. in the History of Public Policy and Law combines comparative historical studies with training in related academic disciplines. As a student in the program, youll be trained to critically examine the policy- and law-related problems of the past with an eye toward understanding the present. Along with completing extensive coursework in history and courses in cognate fields of your choosing, youll acquire competence in historical research and writing using primary and secondary sources. Youll also be encouraged to learn a foreign language and quantitative, digital, and/or qualitative research methods appropriate to your fields of interest. As a culmination of your studies, youll complete either a quarter-long research seminar or a two-quarter senior thesis project based on original historical research. In addition to your studies, youll be encouraged to complete an internship in public policy and law by participating in opportunities available through the UC Washington or Sacramento programs or through independently arranged venues.
