The Graduate Certificate in Interdisciplinary Policy Studies at Lehigh University provides a foundation in policy analysis, evaluation, and the public policy process. Managed through the Department of Political Science, this program is designed for graduate students and professionals who need to navigate the intersection of policy across sectors like health, education, and the environment.
This program is built for those looking to influence systemic change without necessarily pursuing a full 30-credit Master's degree. It emphasizes "cross-sector" intelligence, training students to understand how a policy decision in one department—such as public health—inevitably impacts social and economic structures in another.
