Course Description

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

PUBPOL 5912 is the third part of the MPA Capstone course, which provides second-year MPA students with opportunities to practice project management and research and analysis skills gained through their previous coursework while conducting projects and developing reports and presentations that address policy or public management problems for real-world organizations. Students work in small teams and develop leadership and team management skills, gain experience in conducting policy-related research and communicating research with policymakers and decisionmakers, and learn how to navigate organizational demands and constraints. In this course you will develop a report and several presentations that address policy and public management problems, weigh possible options and their consequences, and provide recommendations to an organization working in the policy and public affairs space. Second-year MPA students use the reports produced in this course to meet their Brooks MPA writing requirement for graduation.
