<p>I am interested in going into public policy and am curious about the strength of this program. The website's information is fairly basic, so I was wondering if anyone has any experiences, whether first or second hand, to share about this program. Any other fun facts (grad placement, popularity, recommendations, anything really) would be much appreciated too. Thanks!</p>
<p>arrowsmith - The program, as you correctly define it, is just that. Currently, you can only minor in public policy, but it seems one of the most practical minors offered. There are, as the website indicates, various ways to get involved. There is the opportunity for DC internships:

<p>and a fairly innovative opportunity to research and write policy papers at the request of VT and NH legislative committees through the Policy Research Workshop:

<p>The application aspect of the minor really adds to a student’s skill set.</p>
