Undergraduate Diploma in Public Policy

The Diploma in Public Policy (DPP) is a unique undergraduate diploma offered by the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities and associated with the Political Science program. Designed for flexibility with two core foundational courses and a wide selection of elective courses that focus on contemporary issues, the program is open to students who are currently enrolled in or who have completed an undergraduate degree in any discipline. Students who have completed an Ontario College diploma with a minimum 80% average may also be considered for admission. The DPP program will provide foundational understanding of public policy for the service, corporate, government, non-governmental and/or educational sectors. Consisting of 8 courses, the program may be taken on a part-time or full-time basis. Taken full-time, the DPP can be completed in two semesters.
