The Center for Public Policy & Political Studies is an innovative program created to enable ACC students to gain practical experience in learning how government policies are created and executed, and to improve communications between public entities and the people they serve. The Center, a non-partisan and externally funded non-profit organization, is the first of its kind to be established at a community college, and yet another example of ACC’s responsiveness to central Texas students’ needs.
