Learning Objectives and Outcomes
Policy analysis is the art, craft, and science of providing problem-solving advice to managers in public sector, policy-makers, or citizens. Policy analysis requires several distinct sets of skills: technical understanding of analytical tools, understanding the policy context, and the ability to produce and communicate practical advice. The overall aim of the course is to increase student’s capacity to contribute to identifying, analyzing and assessing policy problems and options and ultimately to generate arguments for alternative policy options.
