School of Public Policy 494DI - Public Policy Capstone Lab

This course provides Public Policy students with the opportunity to reflect on and synthesize their experiences, knowledge, and skills developed during SPP?s undergraduate program. Students will tackle an actual policy or management problem facing a community or mission-driven enterprise (i.e., nonprofit, co-operative, social enterprise, etc.). Working in teams or individually they will research the problem to discover the policy or management issues facing the community or enterprise. They will then utilize the skills they have learned to research and analyze the problem to come up with an evidence-based solution. At the end of the spring semester, students submit a project report and present it to SPP faculty and others, as appropriate for the project (policymakers, nonprofit organizations, etc.)
