<p>As I was looking through UCI's major list I came across this one. Does anybody have any knowledge of what majoring in Social Policy and Public Service might consist of? Classes? Employment opportunities? Salary? What exactly does a areer of this nature asks for?</p>
<p>Please any knowledge is appreciated :)</p>
<p>You’re right, it does sound interesting. So I decided to go onto UCI’s website to check it out. Most schools (I’ve never seen one that doesn’t) have their requirements on their websites.</p>
<p>Here is the information on classes needed for that major:
[School</a> of Social Sciences - Undergraduate Major in Social Policy and Public Service](<a href=“UCI General Catalogue Archives”>UCI General Catalogue Archives)</p>
<p>It seems like a mix of sociology, political science, economics, statistics, and communications at the undergrad level. It seems like a very ‘practical’ degree as it deals less with the abstract and more with policy, unlike a major like philosophy. Some people feel that degrees like that should be at the masters while undergrad should be more abstract. </p>
<p>I think a career for someone with this degree would be broad. Law school, business school, teaching, research, government work, non=profit work, international development, and public policy (education, transportation, health care) all all fields that could be pursued with this degree. </p>
<p>I think if you really wanted to enter any of those fields, you’d have to get an MPP or MPA eventually which would compliment this degree nicely.</p>
