Bachelor of Arts - Liberal Arts - Exploratory Pre-Government, Public Policy and Justice

The Exploratory pre-major affords a tremendous opportunity for students to discover, create, and learn about themselves, majors, and careers. Students benefit from the guidance, advising and support offered in the Exploratory Advising Center. Beginning with the required course during the first semester of classes, academic advisors assist students in choosing a focus of study.

The Exploratory pre-major does not lead to a degree. Students must declare a degree major by the time they have earned 45 credit hours at Kent State University.

Government, Public Policy and Justice: Students who are a detailed problem solver, articulate communicator, and passionate about righting wrongs should explore majors in this area. Study the action, regulatory measures, laws, social service agency engagement, social justice and funding priorities developed by government, agencies or representatives, and use qualitative and quantitative methods to understand and assess their impact.
