As the 21st century drives us forward, a push toward greater transparency and effective governance reflects upon the standing of distinguished policy makers and administrators in the legislative branches. The age of information and the innovative, open forums of communication – blogs, social media and the internet as a whole – demand a comprehensive understanding of the political forces in this arena.

The bachelor's degree in government for state and local public policy envisions strong political leadership, which improves and makes a difference in the lives of people in their communities. The program, which serves as an alternative to a political science degree, explores the scope of governance and democracy through patterns of political behavior.

Government and Public Policy Curriculum
------------------------------------------------------------

At the heart of the traditional, evening or online BA in government is a classical liberal arts education that inspires critical reasoning, effective communication and a strong foundation in research and writing. The program offers an introduction into American politics and government. It provides a deep understanding of the constitutional foundations and the governing institutions in the federal government.

With the classics as well as the more contemporary expressions of political thought, the core of the government degree surveys the development of the American Constitution from its colonial origins to the present day. In the broader framework of political philosophy, the program examines constitutional law and the impact Supreme Court decisions have had on society.

Only minutes from the county, city and state headquarters, GCU's government program makes special reference to Arizona's political and socio-economic environments. It reflects on the development of the city government in the United States and the future of cities through the essential hands on skills of government affairs.

Public Policy in Focus
-----------------------------

Public administrators and legislators in the echelons of state and local government are responsible for creating policy and laws that profoundly impact society. A public policy education can extend beyond the public arena into non-profits, regulatory affairs in the private sector, and the broader corporate space that is heavily reliant on public policy and regulations. Research analysts in the political sphere also demand a strong understanding of public policy and the inner-workings of government and politics.

For students who are interested in advancing their education beyond the bachelor's level GCU offers a Master of Public Administration degree.

Food Regulatory Affairs is an interdisciplinary subject area - integrating science, law and food/health policy as applied to the regulation of the entire food chain from pre-harvest to the consumer. International perspectives on Food Regulatory Affairs have become increasingly important, particularly since the formation of the World Trade Organisation and the international acceptance of Codex Alimentarius standards. This programme is designed to provide postgraduate training in Food Regulatory Affairs for individuals who wish to pursue a career or are currently employed in the food sector, regulatory agencies, government departments, and trade organisations. The programme is also suitable for veterinarians employed in the food sector who wish to develop further in this field as it provides postgraduate training in Food Regulatory Affairs together with a specialism in Veterinary Public Health (VPH).

All the courses in the programme are entirely internet delivered and are offered on a part-time and full-time basis. The awards are granted jointly between the University of Ulster (UK), and University College Dublin (IRL), in association with University College Cork (IRL). European and global experts in science, law, economics, and policy contribute to the courses.

This programme provides students with broad knowledge and understanding of food regulatory affairs and promotes their ability to assess available evidence and data, make sound judgements and communicate findings effectively to all stakeholders in the food chain – producers, regulators, industry and consumers. Relevant EU food regulatory policy is integrated within the lectures and translated into a coherent regulatory framework so that students will grasp the complex idea of total regulation of the food chain from primary production through to consumer health issues. Core domains of VPH are addressed in relation to the regulatory responsibilities of the veterinarians and the protection of animal health and welfare and human health.
