The public policy course sequence is part of the foundational core of the Social Development and Policy degree program. The goal of this sequence is to introduce the students to public policy so they are better prepared to take higher-level electives in policy, as well as enable them to better understand the practical implication of policy in the real world.
Public Policy II takes a more applied approach and introduces the students to policy design, implementation, as well as evaluation. It gives students an opportunity to delve deeper into selected policy areas to better understand policy issues, governance, and reforms in the given area. It also enables students to articulate policy issues, explore them through primary and/or secondary research, and to develop policy recommendations.
