Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Law, Economics and Public Policy] From University of Washington

The Law, Economics and Public Policy (LEPP) major at University of Washington Bothell provides a grounding in economics and political science as students learn to analyze legal and policy problems, alternatives, and consequences.

The LEPP curriculum combines theoretical analysis and practical experience through applied coursework and undergraduate research, community-based learning and academic internship opportunities, and the possibility of contributing to and working on the UW Bothell Policy Journal. Like all IAS degrees, LEPP emphasizes core capacities in critical and creative thinking, interdisciplinary research, collaboration and shared leadership, and writing and communication.

Students in LEPP build a powerful foundation for careers with non-governmental organizations, policy analysis think-tanks, and local, state, and federal government. LEPP graduates are prepared to undertake graduate study in law, policy studies, public policy, and management, among other fields.
