The Department of Public Affairs and Social Research offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in a variety of disciplines including Criminal Justice, Political Science, Public Administration and Sociology. In addition, we currently have undergraduate minors in Geography and Urban Studies. Each of these programs enable our students to think critically about the modern world and engage in social science research. Graduates of our department will fill a variety of critical roles in the public and private sectors. Consequently, our faculty are committed to building future leaders who are equipped to meet the challenges of the new century.
