I chose the PGOV program because of StFX’s record of developing outstanding leaders. What I love most about the program is that it is an interdisciplinary program. It allows you to bring a policy lens to classes in other disciplines, and enriches public policy classes with everyone bringing perspectives from a variety of disciplines. PGOV is all about challenging ideas. Getting to know your cohort and building a close-knit community where different perspectives are valued and respected will add so much more value to your degree. At the end of the day, you’re getting a degree that allows you to explore different policy sectors early in your policy career.
