"Policy Studies students are very distinctive and very gifted: they not only grasp the politically-charged context of policy making—at all levels of government; they also can marshal the tools of rigorous analysis to get beyond politics and uncover the underlying substance of policy issues. In this highly politicized era, the talents of policy studies students are all the more precious to the vitality of enlightened civic discourse and debate. Typically only advanced graduate students possess these talents that the undergraduate policy studies students command."

Steve Canale - GE Manager Recruiting and Staffing

"Over the years GE has hired some excellent Policy Studies majors from Syracuse into our 2 year rotational training programs in both Finance and Communications. The students also possessed minors in complimentary areas of study that allowed them a basic foundation in the area of discipline that we normally recruit. A winning combination."
