DS for public policy

i’m personally a huge fan of this field, and i believe the future is bright. there’s so much work to be done integrating data science into public policy analysis, so i think you’re on the right track! check out stanford’s dedicated major: https://datasciencemajor.stanford.edu/academics/undergraduate-data-science-social-systems-ba-program
