Description:

CLASS HOURS: 3; CREDIT: 3 Prerequisite: None This course is an introduction to the public policy process in the United States. An important part of the course involves developing an understanding of what "political" and "public policy" mean. We will consider why some problems reach the public agenda, why some solutions are adopted and others rejected, and why some policies appear to succeed while others appear to fail. We will primarily examine policy making at the national level, but we will also look at examples at the international, state, and local level as the need arises during class.
