Faculty
Faculty of the Graduate Center for Social and Public Policy come mainly from Duquesne University's Political Science and Sociology Departments, which collaborate in managing and teaching in the Center.
The faculty are excellent and committed teachers. Classes are small (an average of 11 students in the ten courses offered in the spring 2009 semester), offering plenty of opportunity for close instruction and active participation.
