Given the broad interdisciplinary skills of a Public Policy degree from Georgia Tech, our graduates can apply for much more than “Policy Analyst” position openings.  With proper course selection, our graduates can serve a variety of roles:

• research (research assistant, research associate, research analyst, research surveyor, director of research, etc.),
• public administration (city manager, manager/director of community or economic development, governmental affairs director, budget analyst, program evaluator, etc.),
• consulting (organizational planning and development specialists, workforce development program managers, environmental auditor, program evaluator, energy analyst, regulatory affairs officer, and more),
• corporate (sustainability director, governmental affairs director, compliance analyst, and organizational analyst, and more) and
• academic (professor, technology transfer manager, federal relations director, community relations director, assistant director of sponsored programs, and more).

There are few position openings for the “Policy Analyst.” But there are many of these other job titles.  Check out our “PP Alumni Profiles” and “PP Student Profiles” to learn more about the diversity, adaptability, and effectiveness of our students and graduates.  Our students are able and ready to serve effectively across the public, private and nonprofit sectors.
