Government, Politics and Policy Studies Concentration
CIPA fellows in the Government, Politics and Policy Studies concentration evaluate actionable research and information to address political and social issues. Students who elect this concentration aim to become policy analysts who can advise government officials and executives on policy issues and political strategy.
In addition to the nine foundation courses, CIPA fellows who select the Government, Politics and Policy concentration take a minimum of five courses related to their specific area of focus. The course list below, organized thematically to facilitate course selection, is designed to help fellows develop a particular area of study, but should not limit choices. CIPA fellows may elect to substitute other relevant courses, by petition, with the approval of their advisor.
