Business and Public Policy

Minor in the McCombs School of Business

The Texas Business & Public Policy (BPP) minor provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to have an officially recognized concentration in the study of business and public policy.

Students will understand the impact of the political process on business, and firms' need to manage relationships with their numerous stakeholders. Students earn their minor through combining an intense curriculum of political science, business, law, and public relations.

BPP students are well-rounded and more prepared to enter a career in law, governmental and non-governmental organizations, nonprofit organizations, and many others.
