POLI 324 - Policy Analysis(3 credits)
Prerequisite: POLI 172 or consent of instructor
This course provides an introduction to the study of public policy analysis. Its goal is to show students a systematic approach to understanding the origins, formulation, implementation and impacts of government policies. Following an overview of select analytical concepts and theoretical perspectives, the political and practical dimensions of policymaking will be considered within the general framework of the “natural history” of the policymaking process. Students will also be introduced to prevailing quantitative and qualitative methods as they relate to addressing policy issues. Lectures and class discussions will make use of case examples drawn from a broad spectrum of policy areas. Offered alternate years.
