| Description | Public policies affect every aspect of our lives. The decisions that governments make (or do not make) affect our capacity to respond to challenges like the climate crisis, inequality and racial injustice. In the Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Management (BPAPM), you will study public policy: how it is made, what influences it and how to improve it. The only program of its kind in Canada, BPAPM takes advantage of its location in the national capital, home of the federal government, foreign embassies and many international organizations. Carleton has a reputation for research and professional strengths in the study of public administration, international affairs, politics and journalism. Examine current critical issues in society and develop the skills and knowledge to address them. Combine courses in public policy, institutions and processes with courses in political science, economics, law and history. Gain a comprehensive understanding of what government does, why it does it and how it might be done better.
