Northwestern’s Social Policy BA trains students to tackle systemic issues—poverty, education gaps, health inequities—using data analytics, economic theory, and community partnership. Coursework integrates micro-econometrics, program evaluation, and qualitative inquiry, while practicum placements embed undergraduates in city agencies and nonprofits crafting live policy proposals. Faculty from economics, sociology, and political science guide capstone teams in producing white papers cited by regional lawmakers. Graduates excel in policy research, civic tech, consulting, and law.
