The BA in Public Affairs offers an in-depth and engaged educational experience with a clear public service ethos, centered around a multidisciplinary foundation in the social sciences and an applied emphasis on knowledge and methods for improving society.
Students in the major study a range of substantive topics related to public policy, urban planning, and social welfare. During their final year at UCLA, students connect the dots between theory and action by completing an experiential learning capstone that consists of a three-quarter internship at a community or government organization, a three-quarter seminar, and culminating capstone project.
