Global Policy Laboratory

1 Unit · Graduate

Provides students with a hands-on opportunity to apply core skillsets from the MPPA program, particularly as they relate to an organization facing global, social and economic policy challenges. Students work for a client organization on a commissioned project supervised by an MPPA faculty member. The goal of the project is to analyze a challenge facing the organization, then develop a set of policy recommendations for the client. Student teams produce final deliverables. Project culminates in a live client briefing and written report (so one site visit by a student team representative may be required). Students should expect to spend 20 hours per week on the course. Counts toward all specializations.
