Social Policy Concentration
CIPA fellows in the Social Policy concentration learn design, management and evaluation of public-sector programs in the areas of health, welfare, education and aging. The fundamental material of this concentration introduces students to problem formation, cost-benefit analysis, identification of policy alternatives, and policy implementation.
In addition to the nine foundation courses, CIPA fellows who select the Social 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.
