Saint Louis University's public and social policy doctoral program provides a Catholic, Jesuit education to prepare students to engage with significant social and political problems. The program prepares students to tackle some of the biggest issues of the times, including persistent poverty both in American cities and in countries around the world, urban renewal, racial and ethnic inequality, and health disparities. SLU's Ph.D. in public and social policy prepares students for scholarly and leadership roles in government, universities, research and public service organizations by providing multiple disciplinary perspectives, advanced methodological skills and the ability to conduct original research in an academic or applied setting.
