In an age of increasing public-private cooperation, with the traditional lines between government, business, and the nonprofit sectors blurred, NYU Wagner and the NYU Stern School of Business offer a collaborative undergraduate minor in Public Policy and Management.
Recognizing that many students will move fluidly between public and private realms in their professional work, this joint minor is designed to offer broad exposure to and preparation in both. Students electing this minor may choose from a carefully selected range of Wagner and Stern policy, management, and business courses. Among the first collaboration of its kind among US universities, this genuinely interdisciplinary program showcases both the business/management acumen and public service passion of these leading NYU professional schools.

Minor Policies
Credit toward the minors is not given for courses completed with a grade of less than C, or for courses taken on a pass/fail basis.
Students can count one course in a minor towards the requirements of another major or minor. Students intending to double count any courses would also need to contact the other major or minor’s department to ask if, and to what extent, that department permits overlapping courses.
Students can count up to 4 transfer credits (equivalent to one course) to the minor as long as it is approved as an equivalent to a listed minor course.
Students who have declared interdisciplinary minors in partnership with the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service follow the academic policies set forth by the home school.
