About WSUV Public Affairs
A degree in Public Affairs offers students the opportunity to expand their knowledge in several fields of study such as criminal justice, management, political science, and sociology. Along with completing core requirements an area of concentration is offered to expand the knowledge base of the degree. Public Affairs is designed to teach students critical thinking techniques and prepare them for jobs in the public and non-profit sectors.
Students can pursue either an undergradute degree or a graduate degree in Public Affairs at WSU Vancouver. A checklist for the undergraduate degree requirements can be found here. Though this checklist is updated often, students should remember to follow course requirements as listed in their current student catalog, or from their current advising checklists.
