WWS Electives List by Policy Area
Spring 2017
Each Student must complete four electives from those included on this list. Courses have been classified into broad categories under three policy clusters: 1) Human Welfare and Social Policy, 2) Security and Sustainability, or 3) Institutions and Networks. Within each cluster are specific policy areas that bring together elective courses from several disciplines that address a related set of issues. Two additional types of cross-cutting courses on methodology/decision making and regional studies are also included as options for electives. The list of electives aims to help students create a coherent, interdisciplinary program of study in public and international affairs that buildsdepth of knowledge within a specific policy area. Studentsdeclare their cluster and policy area at the time of entering WWS. Studentsmay select any combination of courses from this list of approved electives, but they arestrongly encouraged to focus their course selection within their chosen policy area.Except for WWS and methodology courses, students may take no more than three electives from the same department or program.The courses listed here have been offered recently, but not all will be available in any given semester or year – the registrar website provides information on current course offerings.
