Core Courses

The Evans School core curriculum provides MPA students with a solid base of knowledge from which they can pursue a wide range of academic courses and professional opportunities in public policy and management.

Management, Leadership, and Budgeting

Managing Politics and the Policy Process (PUBPOL 511)

Managing Organizational Performance (PUBPOL 512)

Public Budgeting and Financial Management (PUBPOL 522)

Managing Politics and the Policy Process positions students as leaders looking primarily outwards to the authorizing environment and a variety of stakeholders. The goal of Public Budgeting and Financial Management is to provide students with language and tools to locate, use, measure, and evaluate the financial resources that organizations need to implement policies. Public Budgeting and Financial Management looks primarily inwards to organizational operations, while recognizing the external pressures and financial considerations that affect them.

Economics

Microeconomic Policy Analysis (PUBPOL 516)

Microeconomic Management Analysis (PUBPOL 517)

These courses deepen students’ understanding of microeconomic theory and develop their skills in applying it to public policy and management issues. Microeconomic Policy Analysis builds upon introductory microeconomic theory with a deeper discussion of consumer choice and markets. Microeconomic Management Analysis focuses on the problems and opportunities that market-based exchange affords in allocating scarce resources in various situations encountered in real-world policy analysis and management.

Quantitative Methods

Quantitative Analysis I and II (PUBPOL 527 and 528)

This two-quarter sequence aims to help students become critical consumers and competent producers of research and statistical analysis. Students learn to digest and critically assess empirical evidence and understand what analysis is needed in order to make decisions. Throughout the courses, students examine policy questions and related data in order to learn how to apply analytic techniques.

Applications in Policy Analysis and Program Evaluation

Public Policy Analysis (PUBPOL 513)

Program Evaluation (PUBPOL 526)

The goal of Public Policy Analysis is to equip students to rigorously assess policy responses to public problems. This course develops a framework students can use throughout their careers to be both better consumers and creators of policy advice.

The bulk of the course focuses on a variety of empirical approaches to program evaluation, and on causal inference methods in particular.
