Jessup’s Institute for Public Policy prepares Christian leaders for public service by integrating biblical faith with the complexities of government, politics, and administration. Offering specialized degrees in Public Policy, Criminal Justice, and Public Administration, the department develops ethical, critical-thinking professionals equipped to serve their communities and nation with integrity.
