Graduate Electives

Policy Studies students have the opportunity to expand their knowledge in policy areas that align with their interests and the expertise of the faculty. They may take courses in the Policy Studies program, Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, or another UWB program such as Nursing, Education or Business. If they so choose, students may take one or more of their elective courses at the UW Seattle campus, in a study abroad policy course, or a community-based internship. Policy areas typically represented at UW Bothell are as follows:

  1. Technology policy
  2. Human rights policy
  3. Labor and human resources policy
  4. Environment and energy policy
  5. Development policy
  6. Health policy
  7. Education policy
  8. Culture policy

NOTE: Students wishing to receive Policy Studies elective credit for courses taken in other departments (either at UW Bothell or UW Seattle) must fill out a Request for Outside Coursework form and obtain faculty approval.

 

Listed below are the proposed Cultural Studies and Policy Studies graduate electives for 2009-2010.  Please note that these electives are subject to change.  Consult the time schedule for the most up-to-date information.
