As a global community, we continue to face unprecedented, complex public challenges. Our world needs the efforts of an energetic, committed, creative generation that is prepared to lead. How will you make a difference?

Join us for an undergraduate information session for students interested in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. Come chat with us to learn more about your future as a member of our Fordie family!

During the session, we will discuss:

Student support services

The application for Fall 2027 will open in October and the deadline to apply is February 1st. Admissions decisions will be released in mid-March.

For students with an interest in the Ford School's Bachelor of Arts in public policy program and/or the undergraduate minor in public policy, we host information sessions in both the fall and winter semesters to learn about the program, requirements, and application process.
