Political Science is a social science that studies the theory and practice of government and politics at the local, national, and international levels. It involves analyzing the behavior of individuals, groups, and institutions in the context of political systems, as well as examining the ideas, values, and institutions that shape politics and policy.   Public policy is a subfield of Political Science that focuses on the development, implementation, and evaluation of government policies. It involves analyzing the various factors that influence policy decisions, including economic, social, and political considerations. Public policy scholars and practitioners work to understand the complex dynamics of policymaking, as well as the impact that policies have on society.   Students who choose the Public Policy track within Political Science typically study a wide range of topics, including policy analysis, program evaluation, political economy, and the politics of specific policy areas such as healthcare, education, and environmental policy. They may also study the role of interest groups, political parties, and public opinion in shaping policy outcomes.                                                                                Graduates of a Political Science, Public Policy track program may pursue careers in government, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and advocacy groups. Some may also go on to work in academia or research, examining the complex relationship between politics, policy, and society.
