Job Requirements
1. Education: A bachelor's degree is usually the minimum requirement for entry-level positions in policy research. However, many employers prefer candidates with advanced degrees such as a Master's or Ph.D. in fields such as public policy, political science, international relations, economics, sociology, or a related field.
