This course is the foundation for the BA major in public service and public policy . It is designed to introduce students to the development, execution, and evaluation of policy making. Students will explore contextual, conceptual and theoretical frameworks that influence policy, particularly (though, not exclusively) in the United States. The course will examine problem formulation, information collection, and policy formulation.  Readings will focus on theoretical approaches, specific methods and ethical concerns for policy analysis, and a wide range of positions will be presented.
