Policy Analysis (Certificate)
Public Policy — the actions of government and its partners in the nonprofit and private sectors — is the keystone of politics and public administration. The creation, adoption and implementation of public policy is a complex process that requires skills in analysis, reasoning and argumentation — what we call evidence-based policy advocacy. Make the most of your skills by gaining tools to advocate for realistic, effective and responsible public policy.
