Public Policy Project

Inspiring publicly spirited and scholarly minded students means utilizing our knowledge of political ideals, institutions, and behaviors, and exploring the lifecycle of public policies – their formation, effectuation, and reformation – in the context of a diversifying society and economy.

The Public Policy Project, which features a PDF Workbook, Canvas Module, and PowerPoint presentation, serves as a keystone of the Political Science program at my college because it introduces students to the formation of public policy through the lens of four analyst roles: Data, Geographic Information Systems, Policy, and Communications.
