The Gender, Policy, and Global Development track prepares students for leadership roles in domestic and international careers in government and nonprofit organizations focused on gender and public policy issues. Grounded in interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches, the track provides students with the analytical and empirical skills needed to address global human security and gender equity challenges through research and policy analysis. Students examine issues from cultural, economic, legal, political, social, and technological perspectives while developing expertise in areas such as policy and leadership, social and economic equity, and family and community development. Graduates pursue careers in fields such as environmental sustainability, sociology, urban and regional planning, policy analysis, diplomacy, public affairs, international development, humanitarian assistance, higher education, communications, and international trade.
