This course fulfills the Public Policy Capstone requirement for majors. It is designed for students who are unable to enroll in the traditional spring Public Policy Capstone. The Public Policy Independent Capstone provides public policy majors with the opportunity to reflect on and synthesize their experiences, knowledge, and skills developed during SPP?s undergraduate program.

Students will enroll in this course when they have found an internship in public policy that they would like to complete for academic credit. The course will allow students and a supervising faculty member to establish common goals that are substantive and measurable, ensuring opportunities for meaningful learning.

This course focuses on the dynamics of social change change through collective direct-action campaigns as well as the process of leadership development. Three primary questions are explored: why people organize, what are the distinctive qualities and skills involved with organizing, and what is entailed in becoming a good organizer.
