School of Public Policy 499D - Big Problems: Capstone Lab

What are your community's most pressing problems? Policing? Housing? What are the world's? Ending global hunger? Climate? How might we address this problem today? This course is the second in a two-course sequence and is an option for students in the Commonwealth Honors College. It continues their thesis research begun in the fall semester SPP 499C in which they chose a question, wrote a literature review, and learned about research designs best suited to answering their research questions. In this semester, students will execute their research plan. Further, they will reflect and synthesize their experiences, knowledge, and skills developed throughout their undergraduate careers. The end product is a thesis written by the student relating to a policy or management problem today. This course allows for honors students to gain from in-depth research for developing impactful thesis, and satisfies the IE requirement for Public Policy majors.
