Health Care Policy (BS)

About this programme

The Health Care Policy (HCP) major is offered within the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy, and includes a curriculum grounded in the social sciences. HCP builds on the research strengths of the Brooks School faculty, who use the theories and methods from economics, sociology, political science, and demography to study the effects of government policies on individuals and families, public health, education, crime, product markets, financial markets, and a wide variety of other social impacts. The research tools learned and used—robust theory, rigorous empirical quantitative skills, and practical applications to real-world policy issues—are highly sought after by the best employers in the healthcare industry and government.
