Want a career in politics/public policy?
I plan on majoring in public policy. I have attempted to outline all of the classes that I believe are relevant to my future field. Here are all the classes I plan on taking. Please tell me if I left something out that would be relevant, if I have too much of one topic, etc. Thanks

It is impossible to tell if the coursework is sufficient by examining just the titles of the classes.
Looks like you have a high percentage of classes that are easily taught using propaganda. Just as important as choosing the groundwork for your chosen career, you need to research the staff to determine if they are biased in their presentation in classes like Ethics, Money and Banking, Economics, coursework having the word Issues in its name, etc. and if they criticize others with opposing viewpoints. It is likely that their biases will be extreme liberal, so if you are a conservative, you may need to consider another route of coursework (or another institution) so that you are not criticized and frustrated by their propaganda and their followers. If you are a liberal you may need to rethink attendance at that school so that you will be exposed to fiscally and socially conservative viewpoints so that you can think creatively and critically in your career.
